Just curious - sometime in mid-72 a change was made from the non-retractable seatbelts, old-style jack, etc.
Anyone know the break point? My completion date was 5/23/72 & I have the newer components. Pat |

if i recall correctly, it was established that there was no cutoff date. new items where phased in as old items ran out of stock.
there's quite a few '72 cars that are oddly mixed/matched. for example, there's some '72 cars that have the moveable pass. seat, but still use the early door window mechanisms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |

I looked at an early 9/73 parts car that had the old style window winder. I think it was as Andy said, they used them when they got the new pieces. Same way with the 74 gauges, some had silver bullets, late ones did not. There was also a rear hard line brake change in 74 when the pressure regulators went to a different configuration.

The window end caps changed in 72 also. I had someone order the new style and then find out they needed the older style......unfortunatly I didn't ask for their vin #

All 1972 should have the early door window parts since the changeover was in the 1973 model year.
