Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500

I used to build seat mechanisms for Dodge at one company and later Dodge Ram hood hinges at another. Every hood hinge for the 94 to 2004 hood hinge was built wrong to the print, but functionally correct. Apparently the CAD drawings were unclear so a part intended for the right hinge was installed on the left and vice versa. We figured it out in 2001 but left it alone, per Dodge's request. It didn't affect the safety of the hinge, either. Just fun facts to know and tell.
