I was wondering if the hoods were interchangeable between the 1962-1966 chevy and the 1962-1966 GMC light duty(1/2-1 ton) and medium-duty(1-1/2-2 ton)?

fits right on there. it's the fenders that drag the ground when you put 'em on.

There is only one exception - I don't know the model designation, but it's a big truck with a hood that looks similar to the pickup version, but it is substantially shorter from the nose to the windshield.

Other than that, any 60-66 Chevy or GMC hood will interchange so long as originality isn't important. You just need the hood latch that goes with the hood. On the 60-62 style the release lever points down and is accessed in the gap between the hood and the radiator support. On the 63-66 version the release lever is accessed through the rectangular hole on the front of the driver side.

i think they are called low cab foward (lcf). they are easy to spot. the turn signals are different in gmcs and chevys.
