Can 58-64 hinge brackets work on pre 57 decklids?

Thanks Kevin

i'm pretty sure they are the same.
might be best for someone else to chime in though.

If you're talking about the U shaped piece that fits between the body and the hinge, I have a set of 58's on my W decklid right now.

Yep thats the one.. After looking at my 54 brackets, I noticed that the hole on the front of the bracket seems longer in the later models. The one pointing towards the front of the car to be exact, i was not sure if this would affect the fit and alignment. thanks for the the reply, It seems like later model ones should be ok.
