ebay hood

There is a hood on Ebay thats listed as a 1961-62-63-64-65-66 Ford Truck Hood. I emailed the seller this morning to confirm that it's for a 64, but I don't think it is.

What does everyone else think?

Looks like it may be for a '73 - '79, but definitely not for a '61 - '66.
Nor is it for a '67 - '72.
Front edge gives it away:
'61 - '66 has a rounded front.
'67 - '72 has a reverse angle in the front, slanting down and to the rear under the front lip.
'73 - '79 has a an angular front, slanting forward.

That's what I thought too. I was thinking 68, but hard to tell.

It is the 73-79 style, but specific to 78 and 79. The F-O-R-D letters on the hood were there only in 78-79. Will fit 73-79 though.

Tomsrod Wins ! He's 100% right 78-79 and I concur, it's the letters that are the clue that give that dated application away.

Hey I get a cookie! I've contacted ebay sellers about items like this that were misidentified and have gotten the whole gamut of responses. Some have said thanks and made a change and some have invited me to do things I'd not care to do. I only have contacted sellers so that some unsuspecting buyer not get something he can't use. Caveat emptor-let the buyer beware.

Aw, FBP, don't I get any credit? I saw it first.
Sniff.

Unless the eBay seller seems unsure about what the item is, I don't give unsolicited advice either. I once let the seller of a '63 Fairlane know that there was no such thing as the 260 cubic inch 6 cylinder he claimed was in his car and he let me know in no uncertain terms that I didn't know what I was talking about.

The best is when you stumble across something that you need that is marked wrong, then you can get a good deal!

The first line in the item description states that the picture shown is not correct.

Just to add confusion, it says "picture not correct" in his ad. So is it a '64, but the wrong picture, or what? I sure could use one...

It could be my memory playing tricks on me, but when that hood appeared on my E-bay search list (yep, I watch too) the picture caveat was not there.
Methinks it was added later - but I could be wrong, I have been wrong before you know!
There is no question the hood in the picture will only fit '73 - '79 bodies.
Without the correct picture, there isn't any way to tell what he has for sale!
