Was wondering if any of you knew the main differences between the A Body and B body FT Caps.

I have seen listings for 67 A and B bodies, are these different from the 68 Charger caps?
(I do know the difference from 69-70)

Thanks

A & B body the same '67-'69. '70 B-body same as '69 A & B. Go here to BE&A website. '67 & '68 plane center(these repops look to shiny in the center). '69 & '70 have the "FUEL" cast in the center and painted black around it. Of coarse the Charger has the extra ring.

O.K. By what the B/E&A wibesite shows there is really only 2 different caps - 67 GTX and A Body/Charger.(Yes 69-70 say fuel)

I guess I really want to know what the mounting differences between the two styles are.
Pictures possibly?

The '67 GTX one has an unusual shaped ring that goes on under the cap assembly. The is shaped to the body line, which is different than other models. If you look on the BE&A website, you'll see what I mean.

I do see, thanks for the discussion! I know now that the 67-8 A and B bodies are the same. That's what I wanted to know.
I bought two '67 and and a '69 flip top from Van's Auto last Wednesday.
Thanks again for the input!
