    Looking for some answers to whether I can swap my '04 hood for one of the newer SD versions, they appear to be similar dimensions, but are the mounts the same or at least close enough for some minor fabrication? Any advice would be appreciated.

    yeah I saw that on the day-cabs, but recently I've seen full condo versions and was hoping it might be different, because moving the Hendrickson air glide front suspension might be too much of a problem.

    The old style Coronado was a long hood, 132 bbc.
    New coronado is available as short 122 and long 132 bbc set forward axle, and SD 122 set back axle.

    Not sure if it will fit without any modifications, but the long hood set forward would be my best bet

    A friend put the old style coronado hood on a Columbia. Extended the frame, moved axle forward, etc. Big job, and it's still a Freightliner
