I was told the 70 and 69 442 hoods are identical except for the latches. However, I noticed that the 70 hood has 7 bumps underneath the back where the rear hood molding pinches on. The hood also two holes so it appears that the rear hood molding on a 70 may screw on vs. pinch on (as the 69 does).

Any body know if the rear hood moldings on a 70 are different than 69?

I am concerned that forcing a 69 rear hood molding over those bumps may ruin the molding. But then I saw what was advertised as a 70-72 molding on Ebay, and it looks just like a 69?

I need to get this figured out. I repurposed a 70 hood to a 69 but do not have the 70 rear hood molding.

Thanks for any help.

The rear molding on the hood is P/N 398616 and is the same for 1968-1972. It does not screw on - it presses on only.
