Nos hood

[FJROSS]

Hi,

Just wondering what these brackets are on the inside of the hood on both sides. There are two brackets on the left and two on the right. These are besides the (1) hood prop rod holder. I don't have these on the hood that was I think original to my 77.

Thanks
Dave

I bet their to help secure a hood liner pad for a diesel model.

So, it looks like FJC-MAN is correct, they made hood insulation for later models that I was not aware of. 8/80 - 86. Hoping this is the only difference on this NOS hood part number 53301-90808. Don't want any surprises after it goes to paint.
