Default Need help with a '80 ho0d

OK, my first post... Just picked up an "80 basket case, and previous owner butchered the hood... Was wondering what year hoods are compatible?, a guy here in Tampa has a C3 hood, but isn't sure of the year, any way to find out if it will fit?...
Thanks, Dan

It depends whether you want the exact stock 1980 hood, if so only 80 and 81 are the same. If you want anything that will bolt on you can also consider 77 to 79. This is based upon what the aftermarket suppliers are listing.

OK, so 77 and up is a fit, that was kind of my question, have found several 68-72 hoods, one was an L88, hoped it might fit...
