Thanks Mac | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 398 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 398 | Sorta...The emblem mounting points (I believe) are different. Might be some differences on the internal bracing, as well. :confused: Hope this helps. Regards, Wannabe

Thanks | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | In terms of fit and function the hoods are the same for all 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. The 1.5 ton and upward have a different shape at the back corners. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 46 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 46 | Houston'

Thanks Mac | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 398 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 398 | Aren't the 1.5 and up hoods also longer and bigger curves through the fender area? :confused: Regards, Wannabe
