White one 1975, green one 1980 with "flat" hood. Some small differences, but nothing really sticks out for a difference at all.
bird bath hoods on newer D/W trucks
- Thread starter volaredon
- Start date
Update
I still have the 85, now also have an 83 D 250 down to a bare frame, body is in being "dustless blasted" as we speak.
I have the birdbath hood and a couple of cowls known for sure to have come off of birdbath hood trucks. Should have thought to compare them while both were in my hands. Also have the bird bath hood latch to go with it. The birdbath is going on the 85. My son has (2) bird bath hoods, one of which I know he wants to put onto his 89 ramcharger. I may get the other one he has to put onto my 85 down the road.

I put a 72? Hood on my 89 because the 89 hood looked stodgy. But, like a dumb ass I didn't realize that:
1) the grill between the windshield and the hood is different
2) the top radiator bracket (?) that the hood locks on is different.
It fits, kinda, but I wouldn't drive it down the driveway with it like this.
Ever since I had my 76,I've wanted a newer version with the 76 hood and dash. I don't know what I was thinking when I only took the hood. But, one word sums it up,
DUH
