73-80 fender height?

[mike805]

I have an 89 crew cab dually that is bagged and body dropped. It's going in for paint and I had the body shop convert it to a 77 front end. Anyway, the body shop feels that the 77 hood won't clear the top of my motor (due to the body drop). I figured it wouldn't be a problem since the 73-80 fenders have no slope and the old (newer style) hood and fenders cleared (barely). Are the older fenders not as tall? Any suggestion? Trying to avoid a cowl hood because I'm golfing with a moulding on, original style look. Thanks, Mike
