Also, the door latch mechanism inside the door is different. The fuel tanks are interchangable, as are the fenders. Some of the earlier dash pads were molded so that the ends of the pad blended into the cap on the window opening on the door, and those pads in good condition are hard to find. By 1967, the pad was molded to just stop when it reaches the door. You need to look at the 1966 dash pad, but I suspect it will be ok. Tim Dapper
