<DIV>Welcome Wayne to Type-3 world...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bullet Blinkers were on 62-63 (very rare care) and 68-69... "N" models also
had Bullets, but not very common</DIV>
<DIV>Wrap-Around Blinkers are on 64-67<BR>70 and newer had very large
wrap-around Blinkers</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4 lug Type-3s, I believe, started in 1966 model year, 5-lug wheels were
older of course</DIV>
<DIV>Front Beam is not interchangable to a Type-1, if I recall correctly</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A dead give-away for a 62-63 car is blinkers are bullets and there is no
side chrome moulding, nor hood moulding.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fenders are fairly easy to come by, but depends on where you live.</DIV>
<DIV>most body parts are interchangable for the most part</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Engine Cases are different between Type-1 and Type-3. A T-3 case can be
used on a Type-1 car, but not vice-versa... (for the most part, unless you wish
to put in a Type-1 motor)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Doors are interchangable, as long as the early 3 bolt pattern is used on
early cars, or 2 bolt hinges on later models.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take some pictures and we'll help you identify them.</DIV>

have just joined this list and would like some info on Type 3's and
I<BR>thought this would be the source. I have an opportunity to purchase
6 type <BR>3's, 4 square backs, one fast back and one notch back. None of them
are<BR>fixable on their own, but I think I can make one good square out of
the<BR>bunch. At the present time there is so much junk in and around
them I can't <BR>get close enough to thoroughly check them out, but I think
they are in the<BR>62-65 vintage. Two have bullet signal lights, the
rest of the oblong ones<BR>and one square has four bolt wheels. What I
would like to know is: <BR><BR>Will the body parts, front fenders, quarter
panels, doors etc interchange,<BR>the different signal lites not
withstanding?<BR><BR>What year did they go to four bolt wheels?<BR><BR>Will a
bug beam fit a type ?<BR><BR>Is there a source for patch panels, particularly
around the head lights?<BR><BR>Is the engine case the same as on the
