53-56 Hood question

Are the hoods from the 53-56 years interchangeable? I would think that they are, but I don't know much about that generation of trucks.

Just need to confirm.

Thanks, Ilya

The 56 hood is different also in that it has 2 stove bolts near the rear edge centered that attach the hood skin to the brace underneath. 53-55 don't have those bolts.

Randy Jack, do the 53-6 hoods interchange or not?
