Are 68 and 69 Satellite hoods the same?

[Wizard]

Any difference between a 68 and 69 hood? Will they interchange? Any cosmetic difference?

Thnks,

Wizard

I think that they are the same. Bracing may be different though. They will definitely swap over though.

Slightly off topic, but on a RoadRunner/GTX there is an early '68 and a late '68/'69 hood, which will interchange but there is a slight difference in the latch.

Measuring from the drivers side edge to the bolt hole for the hood catch should be 22 1/4 on the early hood.

Measuring from the drivers side edge to the bolt hole for the hood catch should be 22 7/8 on the late hood.

Also, most early hoods did not have the bracing cut out for the air grabber.

I don't know if a Satellite hood shares this difference.
