David and Rob,
You guys owe River a bottle of Absinthe (so do I for that matter).

A '66 - 67 fender is different than a '68 fender in a few features. I can also pull some light assemblies to take pictures to show the differences in sizes and mounting screw locations. But that's fine, that will give me something to do this afternoon.

Agree- They are totally different- I had to re-drill the holes in El Bondo's fenders in order to fit the later style lamps.
moore_rb wrote:My position on this matter matches my position on many other year to year nuances inherent to the Patrol, and that position is that component changes came into these trucks based on the timelines during which they were built, and are not fixed to specific model years.
moore_rb wrote:the prime example of this are the side door handles, and model year 1966, where you will see many "early 66's" (like PFohl's Patrol, or my own 66) with the older style recessed door handles, as well as many "later 66's" (like David's, or Togo) that have the newer style door handles. Due to that, how would one determine which door handles are "correct" for a 66?

RiverPatrol wrote:Your '66 is doubtful whether it is actually a '66 model. It falls between krc65tan’s ’65 and rdarnell’s ’65 in the Registry, so it’s highly debatable that yours is an actual ’66 model, which would explain the door handles.
