Default Help ID hood please

I’ve had this hood for some time and have never identified it positively. It has a GM tag on it and it’s never been painted or drilled for trim or 427 emblems. I’ve tried to look up the part# on the tag but can’t seem to find it. I will gladly take more pics if any body needs me to.
Thanks

ITs a 68-72 hood, for either big block or LT1. I need one. Are you selling it?

I believe there was three versions of this hood 68-69 early, 69L-71, 72, used on big blocks and LT1s. I have been told there was a service replacement released later. Any idea where i could find info based on the GM tag?

It is a later GM part mid 70"s and later over the counter part leave the 0 off the part #3998664. It is designed for both the 1968-69, 1970-71 and 72 Big block and LT-1. The rivets at the mid point drivers side are designed for ether the 1968 thru 1971 and the 1972 hood hold open supports. The 72 hood support location was lower due shorter design support.
