Smile Sprint Package B Question

I want add the Sprint Package B options to my bone stock C code 68 Convertible. I've got the styled steel wheels (got them primed and painted today). I plan to add the C stripe, wheel well moldings and pop open gas cap. Other than the fog lights I think that pretty much covers the Package B options. Here's my question (actually 2);

Do the fog lights require a different grill or do they mount to stock grill?

Where is the fog light switch mounted?

Any additional knowledge that anyone wants to share about the Sprint package would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

It also came with a four speed manual.

I've done as much research as I can find on the Sprint Package, never seen that a 4 speed was part of the package (at least in 1968). You could obviously order a 4 speed and then add the Sprint Package. I'm pretty sure the Sprint Package was dealer installed by then.

The fog lights were the same setup as the GT I believe.
Any help out there on the fog light/grille setup?

Thanks

A Sprint B did have a four speed I think because my mom's 68 is a Sprint A and has a C4.

Like I said I'm sure you could get a 4 speed with a Spint package but dont think it was necessary. If you check out the link I posted you'll see original Sprint B's that are automatics. Anyway, does anyone know if I have to change grills to add the GT/Sprint style fog lights?

Thanks,

Default Sprint b

I have an original Sprint B, with an automatic c4. The Fog Lamps are recessed in the grill and appears to have been manufactured as such. My switch is mounted to the bottom of the dash and should be an easy aftermarket find.
