I assume you are not aware of the many variations by the non specific way you stated your appeal .In a effort to try and help you may want to consider the variety.  Are you wanting assemblyline appearing style date code correct(very hard to find and expensive) ? Are you wanting Assemblyine appearing date code correct not important(still hard to find and expensive but used over several years) ? Are you wanting similar looking Ford service replacement style (Less hard to find but still relative expensive)? Are you wanting a after market service replacement style that are more readily available? FYI if items are new or used has a effect on availability and price. As you can see there are a number number of alternatives. A more specific appeal will help filter on your end and also may help entice sellers who want to filter buyers. Best of luck in your search .

Are there any pics available of the various styles?

I am sure some can be put together. I'll add it to my to do list just. Maybe someone else wants to tackle that.

Of just the various 2.5" wide versions.
Mine has the FoMoCo cast in, K/H number cast in, Slash "T" and the square holes in the front face.
Just wondering where it fits in.

I guess the best answer is that I want the car to be as correct as possible, knowing it will never be perfect. That said I have been able to source a lot of date correct parts and many that are correct but not date correct. I am doing all the work myself and clearly did not do enough research before the initial build. Its all apart again for round two. I was a road racer so restoring a car like this is a different mind set. My goal is to get it to concours driven MCA gold status.

The typical auto parts store replacements have cooling or stiffening fins on them so those would be out. Some of the early aftermarket style had the correct look .Driven class does not require any date code or typically trademark identified parts so that widens your net. Those things like date codes and trademarks would be icing on the cake so to speak in the driven and or trailered class.
