The elky hoods are the same. The monte won't fit without changing everything from the quarter panels forward. Not sure about the malibu.
The hoods from any fifth generation El Camino will fit. This includes flat and cowl induction styles. I believe you can also use a hood from a Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a hood from an Oldsmobile Cutlass from similar years. There are also many aftermarket styles available that are made specifically for fifth generation El Caminos.
Cutlass S, yes Cutlass or Cutlass Supreme, no Interwebs search of photos will show the difference- the raised center section. Oh, for details, the 442 will NOT have the "Oldsmobile" script (or holes for it) in the left front corner.
No, 2 differen't body styles.
No, they're 2 totally different bodystyles.
the 71 cutlass has no cable pull on latch in the middle of grill or just below frt. bumper
If they are both 4-doors or wagons, yes. If they are both coupes, no
Under the hood, on mine.
A 1969 El Camino hood will not fit a 1974 El Camino without modifications. The two models have different body styles and hood designs due to changes in the vehicle's dimensions and aesthetics over the years. While some parts may be interchangeable between different years, the hoods from these specific years are not compatible as a direct swap.
Yes but the hood latch has to be relocated.
Any hood from a 1978-83 Chevy Malibu or 1978-87 El Camino or GMC Caballero would work.
No, the hood from an 1985 El Camino will not fit properly on an 1985 Monte Carlo. Although both vehicles share similar platforms and components, their hoods have different shapes and mounting points. Therefore, modifications would be necessary for the El Camino hood to fit on the Monte Carlo.
This is what I have had to do for my 94 cutlass supreme. Hold the hood release wire lever open from inside the car with a something - a screwdriver or some such thing. Then just pull up on the hood and voila, it releases the latch.
