69 bumpside custom project question

I have a 69 short bed having the usual trouble finding a nice hood wondering if anyone has done the 73 conversion I know the inner fenders and hood mounts have to be changed or a lot of fab work just want to know if its worth the trouble my truck is by far gonna be stock so not worried about being stock look just want to know if its gonna look right on it

C4 Drag Tranny
9in rear 3.73 gears
fabbing new guage cluster and using ac and controls from 94

If you're a good fabricator, or atleast handy with a plasma and a welder, I'd say go for it. You can generally make things look right and fit if you can work with metal, if not, I would say wait for some input from the other guys. I'm still pretty new to the Ford Trucks. Know more about the older cars.
