Nov 66 Dearborn Fender bolt finish?
« on: August 15, 2014, 11:26:29 AM »
 Any idea on a 1966, November 10th built Dearborn car?? My 67' had star washers when I took it apart years ago, so i changed them to the zinc phosphate flat washers, thinking that was "correct" Now you have me thinking.. Could the star washers still have been used in late 66 for the new 67's?? (sorry to jump in this thread with my own needs, but I appreciate it!). :-[

For the period of approx #7F114xxx-7F126xxx I found the following examples

All I found during that period had the flat washers. The clearest (as far as head markings) are from just before and after the identified period bases only on projected build dates. Others during the period only provide the general style of bolt and flat washer design. As a total sample, think I found maybe 8 examples - all the same style.

Hope this helps
