i think there is a reason why they say what year it is for. i doubt it would fit on a 65, if it would they would say 65-68, but they dont they say 67-68. sorry bro, i dont think it will work.

This is a good question, I am glad you brought it up. I am in the middle of the Granada swap on my 68, while I am at it I am also replacing my control arms with ones from a 67 (only because I got them for free and they are in better shape). Anyways, when I gor the first side completed last week, I noticed that the tires are toed WAY out, but some of this has to do with me replacing the wore out 6 cyl. springs with big block springs (when you add weight to the front the toe out gets better). Anyways, I wonder if there is a difference between the two, the 67 bolted up just fine, I assumed they would be the same. This evening when I get home I will compare the 2 side by side.

The 67 and 68 lower control arms are the same length and bolt to the chasis the same, so there is no difference there.

HOWEVER, the bolt patterns for where the strut rods connect to the lower control arm are different for the 67 as opposed to the 68. If you're using 67 strut rods, you'll need to use the 67 lower control arms. Alternatively, if you're using 68 strut rods, you'll need to use the 68 lower control arms. The 68 strut rods I purchased did not bolt up to my 67 lower control arms, so I had to buy new 67 strut rods - problem solved.

Hey Sean, look at my Avatar. The kind folks at the chop shop did mine for me. Just get some shots of your car or whatever and ask them to make you an avatar. That goes for anybody else too. They also make great sig pics, and they are FREE!
