Title: 67 Fender changes : -A vs. -B
Post by: Bossbill on August 04, 2023, 08:01:47 PM

According to the 68 MPC there was a change in the 67 fender part number revision letter from -A to -B. The service part numbers are C7ZZ-16005-A RH (and 16006 LH) "Before 12/1/66" and C7ZZ-16005-B RH (and 16006 LH) "From 12/1/66."

This may be a running change item.

However, do know what is at the heart of the change?

Update subject to change hyphen to colon.

Fender rubbing issues. I believe the change was in the flaring of the opening. Wheel opening moldings also updated at the same time. I believe Jeff shared a service bulletin on the subject several years ago..

Ah, so two running changes. Fender and trim.
I gather this would affect all plants.

Yes, Fenders and trim were stamped and processed at other facilities.  If I recall the major sheet metal stamping operations were in Woodhaven (Michigan, still there), the Cleveland Ohio area, and Buffalo New York.  I'm not sure about molding operations though.

Thread related to the problem or issue with the "new" wide oval tires
