    It should fit, but you will need to change the upper side windshield trim moldings, bottom front wheel moldings/fairings and possibly front hinge mounting brackets may be different as well.

    Many of the Century Class ST I see have been retrofitted with LED headlamp assemblies, too bright for me meeting them, but I drive alot at night by preference, so bright does bother me more.

    Have seen the same thing more or less on Classics and FLD 120s, round housing made to fit with much brighter lights(color number). I like the stock headlights on a Cascadia the best, for all around effectiveness without blinding others.

    Thank you very much, been looking online and can’t find no help. I have a access to a Freightliner century and has all plastics and all . Just guess my cousin blew the motor and been sitting for quite some time and doesn’t have any plans for. So I aske if he would mind if I took the hood and whatever else I needed. He said no problem so I’m thinking whatever o need I should be able just swap out from the parts truck if that’s what you wanna call it now .

    Century was a great truck. Especially the second generation.
    Just loved the way they felt.
    If you get one with a 60 in it, it probably last forever.

    I got an 03 Columbia with a 60 500 has 259,000 miles . Hoping it’ll last me a good while. Needs a new hood, that’s the reason I ask bout swapping with the century hood. I really wanted a century but couldn’t beat the deal I was getting on the Columbia with the mileage that it has.

    Ok let's resurrect this thread again. I was curious if anyone swapped the columbia hood for a century?
    I have a century that is cracked out around the hood mirrors (of course) and have thought about putting a columbia hood on mine just because to me the tear drop style headlights look a lot better than the round eyeballs on my century. In fact that's my biggest problem with a century. Ugly ugly ugly. The columbia looks much better to me.
