Hood

Can anyone tell me if the two bolts in the center back of the hood were on all 53,54,55,56, Hoods. Bought a 56 hood which has the two bolts and my old 55 hood didn't have them. Maybe that's why my 55 hood didn't sit on the cowl very good.

The '56 hood has the two carriage bolts in the rear, the '53-'55 do not.

Edit: I found the answer with advanced search. I used the words:

bolts "back of 56 hood"

and kept it limited to the 48-56 forum and found this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...100-hoods.html
