67cab not a 67

Post by 67mann »

:hmm: http://www.fordification.com/images/for ... -holes.jpg My cowl does not have round holes as in the picture :doh: Well the cowl lacing I just got from NPD was ordered for 67 because, all this time working on it...that's what I believed(my project has been a lie :lol: :lol: )my "parts" cab to be. The parts #s are defiantly different in the NPD book but, the picture doesn't do a good job showing the difference between the two fastening types. Has anyone used(they are made by DC by the way) the 68 and up cowl lacing :? I'm just curious as to how much difference or why I couldn't just modify the one I recieved

:yes:

I actually took the one from my 79' dent, (elongated/slotted holes like the lower image shows) and it snapped right into my 71' cowl Jerry.
I never knew the 67' had round holes! :eek:

Dennis Carpenter has a great video on the 68 & up cowl lacing.... I now see the big difference and will be returning the 67 cowl lacing that I bought from NPD and going through DC for the right stuff :fr:

Hey Jeff.... this is the Truck your grill came from :eek: :lol:

Dang...Jerry! :eek:

I had completely forgotten about the grill I bought from you, (I wound up selling it before ever getting it put on BC #16 to a guy who worked in Chattanooga before I moved from there).
Figured since it had already traveled from N.Y. to Florida/from Florida to Tennessee/that it deserved to finally be mounted on a truck LOL!
A guy from Georgia who owned a 68' crew cab-who did auto dealer touch up paint jobs, (he's a member here-can't remember his username) bought it! :hd:

:hmm: Must be some reason they changed it and why in the middle of production(67-68) :?

My late production 1969 Ford F-250 uses a 1970 cowl lacing. I believe that close to the end of a production year, it was quite common to mix parts.
