Which part do you need exactly? Is it the latch mechanism that bolts to the radiator support assembly or do you need the catch for a fiberglas hood that didn't come with one? I have one of each.

I have a few of the parts as well. But not a full assembly. I have a '69 catch as well if anyone needs one.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Thanks for the replys, I need just the part that "catches" the hood and locks it down, this part has the lever pull to open the hood. I have a 1967 latch that will not work with the '68 400 hood I plan on using.

What I have is just the latching mechanism only. No lever. Think mine is actually 69. It is brand new though.

Hey, this may work out. I need a '67 latch assembly to use with my '67 400 hood I picked up. I can trade the '68 assembly I have.

PM me if interested.
