I've had a few disagreements about this hood being OEM. The front detail is the point of contention. I say that it is an aftermarket design. Can anyone verify?

Hey thanks for that info. Was it available on all years or did it start at a certain model year? I want it to be correct for my '73 K10.

So is it a consensus that it was not available on Model year '73? That sux. I even overpaid for it...

This is the correct hood for a 73. Like others have mentioned the style you depicted is 79-80. I liked this style better for my 79, so I swapped it. As far as I know, it's not being reproduced.

Those are NOT the correct rims for the year... take them off and sell them to me.

That info is nice to know- but have to find that pretty funny.

Kinda like saying this was an aerodynamic improvement:
