an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

It will bolt up and latch when you slam the hood.I don't know about the trim, etc, but it will fit. I think some Stovebolter are fooled by the big difference in the shape of the grill. A little story for you, I bought a complete 54 parts truck. I have a friend who owns a 50 that has been in his family since 1950. He needed a hood. I sold him the hood from my 54 parts truck and it's on it now. So again, I'm tell you, it's the same. Been there, done that.

Thanks again i just may take a chance anyway. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | Mac - take the chance! looking at a few of each I see no difference in 47-54, is the same on all years, and Ron's answer seems to cover it - it's been seen and done and works!
Bill | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | AD hoods are interchangeable regardless of year. The only differences will be the emblem mountings.

They also won't interchange between light and medium duty trucks. | | |
