Default 65-68 Convertible owners, can you check a part...

Rear inner quarter metal panels where the window winder is. Front upper corner on the door jamb.

I was doing some fab work on a seat belt mod for Oz and noticed I had two different ones. I think the one on the right is a 68 and the one on the left "other", maybe 65-66 or maybe 65-67... as the 68 part calls out in the FAm as a C8 part I suspect its a 68 change and 65-67 are the same.. but that is a guess.



"68" with recess for inner beltline weatherstrip felt, smaller scallop.



"65-66-67" With no recess and larger smooth scallop.



Can folks take a look and let me know which style you have and on what year?

Just for confirmation my Feb 14, 68 Dearborn vert has the later style (on the right).

Thanks!!

Keep 'em coming, would like to determine if it is a 65-66/67-68 break, which I am leaning towards, or a 65-67/68 break...

Gott be a '67 owner that looks at their car every fews days out there, don't need a lift or to remove any parts to see this one!!

Have had a few 67's and they are the same as a 68. Striker pillar changes in 67 made a change necessary.
