shel-b001 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I don`t recall ever reading anything in the registry that the 68` `s had been produced with 67` hood pins .These could have easly been replaced by removing the turn style & replaced with pin. Iwould say in both cases that these have been replaced at sometime or other. OMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know at least one dealer (Northwestern) that would but on the 67 style pins and put small padlocks through the pin holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
