    Looking for a R hood hinge or a pair for 69 skylark. Does anyone know what other years/models would be compatible? Are A bodies mix and match?

    I think the 69 hood hinges are a one year only item.
    A pair of 68's will work but you will probably hit your head when it is up with the 68 hinges, since the hood doesn't open as far. Most people that own 68's swap out the hinges for 69's.

    69 A body hood hinges are specific to itself only

    .. I may have a set for you. I will PM you tomorrow if I do

    That would be great if you do. Just finished all the body and Prep and we Jambed it all in. When we put everything back together for the final line up before paint thats when we noticed the issue with the hinge. So now I want to wait to spray until I get a hinge and verify my lines.

    So if not, are all 69 A bodies compat? Ive seen some repros on-line for Chevelle and El Caminos. Same item?

    Do you still need hood hinges?

    Hey Guys,

    I am now looking for a set of hood hinges for a 1969 Buick Special (a.k.a. Skylark)! :eek:

    Does anything from a Chevelle/Nova/Camaro work on a 1969 Buick Special? o_O

    I can't find a cross reference anywhere :(

    Thanks,
    Curtis..

    Thanks Dave! Do you happen to know if anyone manufactures new ones for the 69 Skylark/Special?

    Thanks,
    Curtis.

    You will have to try to find a good used set. Place a wanted ad here.
    1968 hinges will work but the hood won't open as far.
