Is the 58/59 chevy hood the same as 55/56/57 as far as size/fit. Are all these years interchangable, or does the 4-headlights on the 58/59 make it different?

Someone gave me one (thought to be a 56). I am going to paint it and put our club logo on it and attach two fold legs for the back so we can take it to shows.

Just wondering, Buddy

NO! the shape turns out to be slightly different because the fenders are a bit wider inward at the front for those headlights - the 58/9 hood is about an inch narrower at the front, same at the back, so there's a slight curve to the sides that's not there on the 55-7

The hinge is also different.
