Excuse the top posting on the same truck I posted about the bed down below ,,,,but this is a different question and I want as many to see it and hope you can give me an answer as possible. thx in advance

This truck is a 1961 and it apparently has a newer hood .

My question is two part :: Are there any differences with the truck hoods from 1962 to 1966 ?

If there is ,,then what year is the hood on this truck .. Gopapa

The only difference is that in'62, the marker lights were clear, and the latch handle pointed down instead of to the side. You have clear markers, but the latch handle looks to be '63-later. I also noticed that you have '62 badges as well. That is a REALLY nice truck by the way!
