Is the headlight mounting area the same and if not, what are the differences?
Thanks

This is the difference between 67 and 68. There's not a bucket difference, but the two h/l bezel to fender screws don't align up.

Here's a 67 fender with a 68 headlight bezel...





Here's a 68 bezel on a 68 fender. Holes line up on this one.

I have heard it is different, but I don't know what is different. The grille mounting point IS different, too.

No they are NOT the same! There is about a 3/4 inch difference in the bucket location per side.68 and 69 will not interchange.Look at a picture of 68 and 69 headlight bezels.The 68 is about 3/4 inch narrower on the outside end than the 69!

Opps, I thought you meant 67 and 68.

True, 69 is way off. The headlight bucket is moved over.
