[65_&_67_Impala]

my 39th Hollander manual says 63 and 64 Impala hood hinges are the same.
others are:
64 Chevelle
63-65 Chevy II

there is also a note that says "Auto wreckers say 152 & 158 fit"

152:
Olds 65-66
Olds F85 64-67
Toronado 66-67
Pontiac 64
Tempest 64-67

158:
Pontiac 61-63

Thanks for that info. I know there are several aftermarket on ebay but would like OG hinges in very good condition.

I'd stay away from the repop hinges. I had a set that failed in about a year and actually caused me to bend the hood trying to close it. I bought a set of billet hinges after several years of noting how ridiculously overpriced they were and have zero complaints. The hood opens and closes easier and smoother than any factory springs I've ever seen.

The '63 and '64 Hood Hinge interchanges as mentioned, but the '64 Hinge was designed to be stronger. Now, this could have possibly changed mid year, not sure, but in my experience I have found that all the '64 Hinges are better than the '63's.

Another good alternative is to send an old set of '64 Hinges out to be rebuilt. A good rebuilder is Wilson's here in Virginia.

NO LONGER NEEDED: Hood hinges. Thx
