hood latch
 

My hood doesn't want to close all the way on my '68. I looked in LMC and they have different part #'s for 67-68 Chevy/GMC, 69-70 Chevy, 71-72 Chevy (apparently if you have a 69-72 GMC your screwed??) Anyway, could I have the wrong year/make? How can I tell the difference?

By the way the doors shut when SLAMMED any hints on those?

brock fro the pic in your avatar your hood is correct for the rest of your truck but you will need to make sure the hinges are in fair working order and not bent or creased which could then disable you from moving in certain areas, also you will need to adjust the "finger"type thing thats on the underside of the hood it uses 4 1/2 inches adjust that to the striker on the radiator support and grille. if it still does not shut then you may have a drifferent striker, gmc maybe?

The guy i bought the truck from had a GMC also and didn't know what went with what. So there is a difference between the GMC and Chevy "striker"?

IIRC GMC latches are different than Chevy.
