    No, i decided against it. I took many measurments and no way a 378 or 379 hood was gonna fit without serious modifications.

    it's been done, you just need a 378 SBA hood with split fenders, of course, and just some hardware, I used to have the 378 SBA and a friend had the 377 SBA and we took all measurements, and it was all the same, mine was a 92 his a 89.

    No worries, im sure a 379 short hood could be made to work but it wouldnt be easy and wouldnt be cheap

    I understand a 378FSA will fit the 377FSA, however when I started looking for a 378FSA hood, the come in different sizes 55in, 60in etc.............has anyone done this? Some advise would be welcome.

    379 also has rivets. Either way, the truck would look silly with 379 hood and not having dual breathers in it. Too much work involved. Just look for a real 379 if thats what your heart is set on
