Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted May 12, 2015 I am pretty sure 69 and 70 end caps are different on coupes and converts between the years ,will 69 end caps line up with the quarters on a 70 coupe or convert ,or are they completely shaped different ?

Rsanter 152 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 Coupe and conv use the same end caps. 69 and 70 use different end caps from one another They will mostly line up but there is a body line difference a little higher on the 70 qtr that will not match up and they won't match at the tail panel Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 If your planning on making a deck lid with matching caps, then it won't make any difference. For example the 67-68 coupe / convertible are different than the fastback. But when we made our decklid for the coupes we used our fastback end caps so we only needed one set of end caps for all of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 It appears the 70 quarters are different where the end caps bolt up ,the shape is different .The 69 has a sharp point at the top and is more dished leading up to the trunk lid but the 70 has a flattened top point and is less dished .i have never worked on a 70 coupe or convert so i haven't been able compare this .I have noticed on one of the web sites ,i think it was Branda ,that 69 end caps for the shelby convert have to be modified for a 70 . Does any one have a pic of the end of a 70 coupe or convert with the caps off ?Or even with the caps on for that matter ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted May 14, 2015 I need a pic of the end of the quarter but i found out the end caps for the 69 are shaped different from a 70 so 69 Shelby end caps will not fit a 70. The 69 outer point is taller than the 70 ,and the 70 is kind of blunt at the outer point and shorter than the 69 . Looks like i will need to find a 70 to make end caps ,otherwise the 69s have to be modified and most would not be able to do that . Branda and all the others list the end caps as the same and they are not ,in fact no one has the correct caps for a 70 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember, 70 shelbys are leftover 69 cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 yeah ,that is what i figured out .All 69-70 Shelbys are actually 69s .When they say they will fit 69 or 70 that is wrong 70 end caps are different Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
