I want to swap over to a '60-'61 hood. Does anyone know if the hood latch is specific to that hood, or will the '62-up latch work?
Thanks,

The striker plate on the grille support is the same, but you'll need the latch in the hood for the 60-61. The pull faces down under the gap in the center of the hood. The 62 & up hood latch handle points to the driver side for access through the hole in the hood.

Here's an eBay example of a 60-61 latch:

What Markeb said...your hood will problably have the hood latch still attached and it will engage the latch mechanism on the radiator support.
