Will a 59 hood fit on my 56 pickup?

Re: hood

I believe it will fit but the hinges are in a different position.

Re: hood

Ogre may be right. I forgot about the fenders being 4 headlight.

Re: hood

58-59 hoods are narrower at the nose.
i have seen the center section from a 58-59 hood welded into a 55-56, looked really cool.
