1966 Toronado Parts and 1968 Delmont Parts
Hello I'm in Yonkers NY and have a 1966 Toronado and a 1968 Delmont that I am dismantling. The 1968 hinges are available for $100 for the pair plus shipping. I am pulling off more parts by the day. Please let me know what you want, there are more parts in better shape from the Toro. I also have a 1972 revcon motorhome with a 1972 olds tornado drivetrain.
I've added photos of the 1968 Delmont hood hinges. Also a pic of the Toro dash.

do you have the complete gauge cluster with the ac controller? I don't need the radio, but everything else. If available, please give me a price for it and send some pictures if you can. Thanks Steve g gamber@msn.com

For 1968 B-body (88s and 98s) Oldsmobile used two different styles of hinges, and two different hood structures. Early production hoods must use early hinges, and late production must use the late hinges.
Early Versions - If memory serves me correctly the early hinges attached to the hood with two bolts, and these hoods did not have a slot in the inner structure to encourage the hood to fold in a collision.
Later Version - Hinges are attached to the hood with three bolts each, and the bolt nearest the windshield passes through the hinge, then a special u-shaped spacer, and then into the hood.
These pictures show the later version. I believe the second style was used on all production after 1-1-68. Bolt pattern on the fender is the same for both styles.
