Need soem help!

The bottom is the old cowl that was on my 87. I picked up the top one somewhere in the last 6 months or so and have no idea what year it came from, and painted it. I went to remove some of the parts from the old one to install the painted one and noticed the holes for the wipers are very different. The 87 cowl has large holes in it. Will the other one fit? I hate to try to put it on and scratch the new paint on the rest of the truck if it wont fit....

I can't help with the holes, other than to say the bottom one looks oblongrd some. Put painters tape around the top ones holes and be careful.

Thanks, I have the washer in the arm. Looks like I need to get some for the cowl or paint the old one....
