Sheetmetal interchangeability
I'm pretty sure they are interchangable. You should try to find a whole clip. The piece under the windshield where the wipers come from is different on later models, I don't know whether that is interchangable though.

Hi the body lines are close, the fenders and hood will bolt on the earlier truck but you will probably need the radiator support from the newer truck so that all the bolts line up in the fenders. JOHN (FATFORTY)

The body lines on the doors and front fenders will line up, but the bed won't look right, unless you have a late model bed on your truck.
Good luck.

Would I be able to get away with the stock cowl if I use a after market fiberglass hood with a 2" raise?

Hi, I would find the style truck you want to use and measure the cowl, I can't understand wht you would need it if you are useing fiberglass the cabs are all the same from 1980-1996 even 1997 on heavy duty 250's and 350's the cowl is a different design but should be the same dimensions.
