headliner trim fitment

[rchappelear 28]

so the front headliner metal trim piece the the sun visors latch to, does the coupe and fastback very???

I see on CJ pony website that they are for either or, but some other places i see coupe only.

 

Is this part interchangeable between coupes and fastbacks or is it specific to the roof style?

visual of part

The Scott Drake reproduction indicates 69-70 coupe or fastback as stated by CJ's, Cobranda, MU, etc.

 

However, the ford parts catalog list a different part number for each

 

F63, C9ZZ-6303606-A (for sports roof)

F65, C9ZZ-6503606-A (coupe)

 

The call it an upper windshield garnish molding

 

What that difference is, I don't know, it could be something insignificant but with out having one from each car, we would only be guessing

I believe it is different ,if i remember right it is shorter for one but i cant remember witch one .

amazing how much more production cost ford incurred between the coupe and fastback.

coupe windshield, a-pillars, window trim all different then the fastback.

Don't know if you've looked into it but maybe someone knows of a good interchange manual out there. I haven't found one yet, but I haven't been looking too hard either. Most of the parts on my restomod are in good shape. When I had a '59 Dodge Royal though, that interchange manual payed for itself ten fold.

Came across this post and thought I would show a picture of both.

 

The top one is for a coupe and the bottom is for a fastback.  Notice how the coupe ends curve in much more than the fastback. 

 

The coupe one shown does not fit my fastback.

 

These are original Ford, not aftermarket and they fit '69/'70.

Tim, Its great you posted the photo for comparison. Now we all know the difference.

 

Makes me wonder how then the aftermarket trim piece advertised as either coupe or fastback would fit properly without resulting in a poor fit ????
