Superliner cab and hood.

[Jeremy_Brault]

Question for the pro's.

I bought a 1991 superliner that needs a cab and hood. I found a 78 superliner with nice cab and hood. Are they the same or did they make the cabs deeper as the years progressed. Are the hoods the same on them weather they had the v-8 or inline 6?

Any information would be greatly appreciated

thank you

The cabs should be the same. 73' and earlier had a thinner cab back. 74' and up had 3 extra inches added in. The hoods between the 78 and 91 would be different. 78 would be a Superliner I, 91 a Superliner II. don't know if they would interchange or not. I's had round headlights and the fenders are set back about an inch behind the grille. The II's had the bottom edge of the fenders even with the grille. Good luck!

The hoods seem being interchangeable but with some efforts. Low rear area of the fenders of the 2nd gen (after 1985) hood has cut offs which don't take place in pre-1985 hoods. That's what can be seen on pictures of two hoods. The hinge mounting area looks similar between two and the same for the grille and stainless top bezel. Sure the headlights are almost different as pointed above and that spot doesn't look of possible easy modifying. I can tell I saw many photo's of the early RW's with later hoods (judging by the headlights) and vice versa either. So seems like a relatively common convertion.
