Default C3 Corvette Hood Question (please help)

Hi I have a question for you guys, what other years in Corvettes will a 1981 Corvette Hood fit? Is it 80-82?

80-82s. It will probably fit 77 up but has a different style bulge. Pre 77 has different style hood latches.

80, 81 are the same. 82 has a fresh air intake for the cross-fire engine, not functional if used on 80 or 81.

So is it will fit a 77-82, but only 80 and 81 have the same hood design correct?
