Hi Kenyon and List, Thanks for the info. Where can I
get parts book or a Hollanders Manual for my 68
convertable. I need to change my front end parts and I
would like to get the part #'s first so I can order
the parts correctly. Do you know if the window motors,
windshield motor from a 74 New yorker would fit that
73 if iI get it?
Can you recommend a place taht would have the parts
for my 68?
Thanks for all your help.
