1970 charger hood w/hood pins: was it a factory option? - 12/29/11 05:20 PM

was a hood pin hood a factory option in 1970 and how would you be able to tell if a 70 hood with pins is a factory hood pin hood.

any info would be very much appreciated!!


i fell like someone is going to go there anyway, so: how many hoods could a hood pin hood if a hood pin could hood pins???

Yes, it was a factory option in 1970 (my Charger has it) - code J45 on the fender tag.

about 34% of all Charger R/Ts had the option - not rare but not very common either. No numbers on the Charger 500s (not available on XH base models as far as I know).

Info take from 1970chargerregistry.com

very very sharp!!

does this mean that if it was a factory option that it had four hood pin holes or just the two in the front..

if it was four, that would make it easy as mine only has the two in the front???

thanks

Just the front 2 would be factory. This is a "pin on" hood. I do not have hood hinges anymore.

I only have 2 hood pins, but then again I only have half a hood.

The 70 Dodge data book is not clear regarding hood pin availability. In one section (shown below) it says "available on Charger R/T". In another section it shows them available on all three models.

Here is the other page showing J45 on all three models.
