How many different hood types were use/ or would fit on the 71/72 RR/sat/gtx ? I like the hood that has the low points and side inserts.
Which car got what hood ?
Will the hood from a 73/74 fit on to a 71/72 ?
Just getting into these cars. Have a lot to learn

Basically three different hood types for the 71-72 Plymouth B-bodies:
1) Satellites had the semi flat hood with the two ridges that run from the back of the hood to the front - curving inward as it nears the front.
2) RR/GTXs had the hood that you are describing - two indents with what looks like square boomerangs around the indents. Standard hood.
3 RR/GTXs could have the Air Grabber hood. Its the Satellite hood with the Air Grabber bubble between the small ridges.
A 73-74 RR hood can be made to fit a 71-72 car - but it takes a lot of work. It has been done and I think there are pictures posted somewhere.
Scott.
