Default 1968 headlight door question....
Will a 69 - 72 headlight door fit a later 68 body? Looking to buy one off e bay and it states 69 - 72...I thought the only different one was an early 68?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi

What is the difference fromn early 68 to the later doors ?

Size?

Or just the adding of the warning switch ?

If memory serves, '68 headlight door size changed three times during the production run going from small to medium to large. 69 up should fit late '68.
