Title: 1968 390 Shock Tower weld vs Wrap around plate
Post by: DHallinan on December 18, 2023, 05:34:53 PM

Looking at a 1968 390 car built at the Dearborn plant on 04/15/1968. It does not have wrap around shock tower reinforcement plates. It does however have welds on the standard shock tower plate. I know that date for 390 cars having these wrap around plates is 04/01/1968. Any variance here? Thank you!
