What You're Actually Buying
This kit covers the complete front end on the T680 - hood shell, grille insert, and the associated cover pieces that tie into it. It's molded fiberglass/composite construction matching the factory hood profile, built for the lighter A/C air intake and headlight mounting points the T680 uses.
Kenworth ran a few small revisions on the T680 over its production run - bumper tie-in points, grille bar spacing, and cover attachment holes have shifted slightly year to year. This kit is for the T680 configuration this number covers, not a universal 'fits all Kenworth' hood.
Because this is a full assembly and not a bolt-in bracket, get the VIN or the tag off your old hood before you order. A hood that's off by half an inch on mounting won't line up, and shipping freight back on something this size is nobody's idea of a good afternoon.
Why These Numbers Cross
The interchange numbers in the table - Automann, BESTfit, and the various OE/cross-ref codes - all point back to the same hood tooling and mounting geometry as L29-6135-20000. Aftermarket houses make fiberglass hoods off the same molds or reverse-engineered patterns, so the shell shape and bolt pattern line up across brands even though the box has a different part number stamped on it.
Where you need to actually look close: headlight cutout size and grille bar spacing can vary slightly between suppliers even on a 'correct' cross, along with hinge bracket hole location. On a part this size, a quarter-inch off on hinge holes means redrilling sheet metal, which nobody wants to do twice.
Match the number off your old hood or your build sheet against what's listed here before you commit. If your truck's had prior collision work, don't assume the hood on it now is the factory original - check what's actually mounted.
Ordering From PartStop
We stock this out of our Tacoma counter and ship it freight nationwide - hoods like this move on a pallet, not in a cardboard box, so plan on a few extra days over small parts.
Local fleets picking up same-day: call ahead so we can have it staged and not sitting out on the dock when you roll in with a flatbed.
Every hood kit we sell carries our 6+ month warranty. Confirm fitment against your VIN or old part number before it ships - freight returns on a full hood assembly are expensive and slow, so let's get it right the first time.

Frequently asked questions
Does L29-6135-20000 fit my T680?
Likely, but T680 hood mounting points changed slightly across model years. Give us your VIN or the number off your current hood and we'll confirm before you order.
Is this the same as the Automann 564.96006S?
It crosses to the same hood assembly and mounting pattern, yes. Automann makes their version off comparable tooling. Double-check headlight cutout and hinge hole placement against your old hood since minor supplier variations do show up.
What's actually included in the kit - just the hood shell?
No, this is hood, grille insert, and the related front covers as one kit, not just the bare shell. If you only need the grille or a single cover piece, ask us - we may be able to break it out separately.
