Hood swap Question

[drdut]

Does anyone know if a hood from a 79 turbo regal will fit on a 1983 ?

Thanks

83 to 87 not backwards.

I believe it's '78-'80 A-body and '81-'87 G-body, '88 G-body was Monte Carlo and Cutlass only.

but no, a '78 hood will not work on a '83.

While above statements may be correct as far as fit goes prior to 1984 however, I am almost positive the header panel line on a 1983 will not line up with the 1984-1987 style hood. The hood will fit but the body line as flows to the front will not line up even with the 1983 and older header panel.

I may be wrong as I am going by memory. If the body line is not an issue then you may be all rite.

Owner a high number of nice Turbo Regals but all 1986-1987 versions. Did have a 1978 once.
