Title: 67 Buck tag - Dearborn
Post by: 67BB390 on January 13, 2016, 02:40:06 PM: My 67 fastback was Dearborn built on 4/21/67. Where would the Buck tag be located? Marti report just has a - mark on the report where it says Buck tag. I ordered a new one from him & want to put it in the right spot.

The screw shown in the picture is used elsewhere - depending on year. The first place that comes to mind is retaining the roof weather strip channel to the upper edge of the door and window opening

Post by: preaction on January 13, 2016, 05:57:03 PM: What would be the correct screw for the OP, My car was built the same week and same plant and seems to have the same incorrect screw.

Post by: 67gta289 on January 13, 2016, 08:07:26 PM: In addition to the location Jeff mentioned, I find those also on 67 upper console mounting brackets, 67-68 fastback rear interior panel brackets, 67 dash pad where attached to the windshield structure, and a few other places. I've got a bunch of spares, PM me if you need one. I'm sure others here have them and would do the same. Phillips head, disproportionately large, sheet metal screw. I would have to look again to see if it is self tapping.

Post by: preaction on January 13, 2016, 08:29:57 PM: Sorry I wasn't clear the screw in the OP's pic IS the right screw ?
Title: Re: 67 Buck tag - Dearborn
Post by: 67gta289 on January 13, 2016, 08:39:48 PM: I'm not seeing a pic on the OP. Jeff's reply shows the screw, and would say that is the style I see as well. Same screw I've seen on Metuchen buck tags, but of course they are not mounted in the same location.

Post by: J_Speegle on January 13, 2016, 10:37:32 PM: Have seen other style screws used - on other plants and years
Title: Re: 67 Buck tag - Dearborn
Post by: preaction on January 13, 2016, 11:11:51 PM: Thanks, My mistake Jeff's pic- uses same screw and same location for the buck on my 67 Dearborn car.

Post by: J_Speegle on January 13, 2016, 11:19:29 PM: For others viewing the picture I posted notice the horizontal line in the metal plate.

You'll find a discussion of some of the plants "recycling" the door and warranty tag blanks as buck tags in at least one other thread on the site.

Yes as you show 68 Dearborn is very different though the location is in the general area.

Jeff,

Funny how what caught my eye that it was a warranty plate was the perfect rivet hole on the left side of the tag. I completely missed the horizontal line. :o

Don't believe they were a feature on 67 Dearborn cars at the start of production that model year.
Possibly first used in the spring of 67. Earliest I have record of is from a possible March (sorry no Marti report on the VIN) car.

Checked the Buck Tag Chain Letter and we didn't receive many 67 Dearborn examples in that effort from 1998.

Post by: gtamustang on January 17, 2016, 10:23:14 AM: Earliest buck tag information I have is for 7F03S174109. Based on the VIN, I guess this S-code may have rolled through the line late December 66 through February 67 (Dearborn tags didn't have a date on them for the 67 and 68 model runs).

Pete Morgan

Same one I have (you likely shared it with me)

Using the Mustang Production Guide for help other VINs similar to that came up with a projected build date of "C" (March in that book so that is where I came up with my estimate - would guess possibly a month in either direction

Post by: rodster on January 17, 2016, 11:09:11 PM: Thanks guys, I thought there was something unique about 67 Dearborn buck tags.

For reference, my Feb 7 Dearborn Mustang does not have a buck tag and no screw hole so it never did. ;)
