Those are 67 Chevelle SS inserts. For the Chevelle inserts 66 or 67, you would need a Chevelle hood to cut out the area where they mount and then weld them into you truck hood. The Camaro/Nova finned inserts pretty must just bolt in on a flat surface. The 68/69 Camaro "Ice Cube Trays" have a drain that need a extra hold but will bolt down flat. The ice cubes can be made into a functional vent easily, you just need to cut the access in the hood. Then you just leave out the metal back plate from the insert (they are 3 pieces, back plate, mesh, chrome piece). Only problem is the chrome will blue with any amount of engine heat. I have a 68 Camaro SS and the aftermarket inserts blued/yellowed due to no insulation on the hood over a couple years.
