So if the 72 has specific holes in the structure to support a specific scoop, why cant those holes be added to a 70 or 71 hood structure with a hole saw??
The 74 dart hood I am using on my sons 69 does not have the folds stamped into the inner structure like the late 74-76 models did. Unless you look at the hood hinges being slotted you would never know.
In my neck of the woods, you use and modify what you can find. Junkyards are full of trucks. Hardly any cars. So in my case if I needed a 72 hood but found a 70 or 71 hood and really needed a 72 hood, I would "make it" into a 72 hood. Just like i needed a 69 cuda hood, and found that a 73-76 dart hood would work. Got lucky my boneyard had a 74 struck hard in the rear with everything shoved into the back window. $100 it was mine. Most people would never know the difference.
