Hood latch-47-53 different the 54-55.1?
Is there a difference between the hood latch/radiator fill panel from 47-53 and 54-55.1? I have a 51 Chevy, and have come across a latch advertised as being from a 54. Can anyone confirm if this will or will not work? I'm not concerned about "being correct," just functionality.

dont think it will work. the hood latch on 48-53 is flat and hood latch on 54-55 1st is on an angle.

I don't think it will work. If you can't find one locally pm me as I have several good ones and all it will cost you is the shipping and an interesting trade.
No rust and no dings or cracks and I'll send you photos first. |

In my experience there is very little difference between the two radiator shrouds. The 54-55.1 shrouds have wire clips riveted to the back side. The only difference in the hood latches themselves is the actuating arm. Both will work.
