Door sill plate interchangibility

Post by 67jdfabworks »

Hey guys, I'm about to replace my door weatherstripping and I am missing both sill plates. PO must have misplaced them somewhere... :roll: My question is can I use the sill plates from a 73-79 in my 67? I can get a good deal on some rather than buy new ones for the 67.Are the 73-79 sill plates the same lengthand shape as our 67-72's? Thanks guys in advance.

Anybody got an idea? Are the sills the same length? Part #s are different in catalogs but look identical.......... Any help is appreciated!

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they will work, but I think there were minor differences. :hmm:

It may have had something to do with the location of the screwhole in the kick panels.

That's not an oil leak :nono: That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!! :thup:

If I remember right :hmm: I think the difference is where it goes up the side of the kick panel. One goes up a little farther than the other. I think the dentside is shorter on the kick panel,but they will work. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the insight guys. I think I will go for the dentside sills since I can get them for a 1/4 of the price of new 67's...

Thanks. But I have a local guy with a few sets I can get from. Appreciate the offer though.
