    Installing headrests on 69 Cuda non-headrest buckets

    thanks for the personal experience info... my cars are 68 and 69's and all the parts i have are for those years. the three sets of buckets i have are 68 and 69 so i'm hoping i find the holes already in the frame like you and another FABO guy has noted.

    Installing headrests on 69 Cuda non-headrest buckets

    the two headrest bezels screw into the top of the seat with two screws each. are you saying that i might be able to feel the hole for the headrest shaft and the two screw holes in the seat top frame under the seat cover? i'm guessing you have to remove the seat cover to be able to install...

    Installing headrests on 69 Cuda non-headrest buckets

    it is really hard to find 68-69 Barracuda bucket seats with headrests as they were not common options at the time these cars were built. i have two sets of black buckets for two of my cars that i want to put headrests on. i also have the headrest components and chrome bezels that the...

    Are my '69 Barracuda wood grains correct?

    no.. the speedometers are correct. in 1968, the 150 MPH speedometer was part of the Ralley Cluster Group option which included the 150 MPH speedometer, trip meter and wood grain accent covering on the dash. in 1969, the wood grain dash cover came with the Delux Interior option. i believe the...

    Are my '69 Barracuda wood grains correct?

    the answer is "no." the "burled" woodgrain was used on 67 and 68 barracudas and was phased out for the 69 models which used a "conventional" looking woodgrain "strand" style. i believe the "standard" model barracudas in 69 did not have any woodgrain on the dash but used just a black paint on...

    what are these called?

    i will take a wild guess here since you don't have a picture, but i think the inserts you're talking about are pretty common. they should be like 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch square. you can get them at home depot electric department or at an auto parts store where the interior fasteners are. take a...

    1968 center console

    hey rocky.. thanks for the correction. i forgot to mention the 67's having inland shifters. my "new" 68 formula S barracuda that i had in 1969 had an inland in it but i believe inlands were replaced by the hurst shifter in the mid-68 car run due to the failure problems with the inlands. i...

    1968 center console

    slob4... all 68 Barracudas ordered with a 4 speed came without a console unless you ordered the optional console. the black interior pic shows a 4 speed barracuda with no optional console. all 68's had the inland shifter (shown). the blue interior pic is a 69 Barracuda. in 69 the inland...

    hi schneiderman, i've had my dash out of my 68 barracuda several times and i think it's the same basic assembly that's in your 70 duster. here's what i've learned: 1. if you are not an overweight old guy (like me), you can change bulbs and some other stuff without taking the dash out...
