Hood Hinges, 1975

[Alex Lohmann]

Does anyone know what all year hood hinges will interchange with 75? What other caddy models fit Commercial Chassis? Does anyone have a set of said hinges?

Alex -
I have a couple extra sets, but can't remember the years they came from, if you can post a clear pic of one I can compare and contrast.

I am like 99% that 71-76 was all the same hinges and they were the same on fleetwood broughams most likely.

74-76 is exact, 71-73 mounts different on firewall & requires modification, this I know from experience fixing a neighbors hearse. The modifications are easy but hood will not open all the way, the range of motion on 71-73 is different from 74-76.
I found a set at a junkyard in excellent shape. But they are hard to find. Good Luck.

Oiling hood hinges on old cars should be part of your routine maintenance.
I oil mine every time I do anything under the hood.
