Default Birdcage Differences
Does anyone know if there are any differences between the birdcage on 69 & 74 T-top Corvettes? Would a birdcage from a donor 74 be suitable for the restoration of a 69?

Thank You
Troy

I don't see why not. Both had glass floors. I am sure someone else will chime in.

To the best of my knowledge...there is no difference at all.It'll be fine.Are you replacing the whole thing,or scabbing it ?

Don't know if it would make any difference in the birdcage, but the '74 had door beams.
