69 hood on a 70 - question

I think I have read it will work but cannot find details anywhere... help! I think I have to use latch parts from my 70... not sure.

I have found on this site a 69 hood with the dual raised portions with grills near the windshield. My 70 has the standard flat hood with the chrome spear.

It works except for the latch. The 69 and 70 latches are different. You need to swap the 69 latch onto the 70 core support for this to work.

Thanks, I was hoping I could just switch hood side parts, not the core support side, since I do not have access to latch parts from a 69.
