    Most of the 65 chassis components are the same, I think ps is the exception. Roofs and windows are the same.
    If you can find one Mecury Meteor shares some parts.

    Hey Turbo442,
    I'll be up your way in a few days. My mom lives in Oroville so the family's headed up there for the 4th on Lake Oroville. It was a blast last year.

    So you think 65 windows are the same? I think I've got a lead on two of the parts I really need:
    Pass side window
    Taillight and bucket (I only need one if I can find one to match)

    I still haven't found any seat belts... Anyone got any? I'll take any color, I guess, but I want tan ones.

    Thanks for all the kind words...
    I also have a black headliner... I'd rather have the tan.
    Pike

    62-65 Sedan (both 2 dr and 4 dr) and wagon share all the same glass except the rear window which is 62-63 and different between hardtops and sedans. I didn't know this until I checked the interchange manual. 63-65 Hardtop (pillarless) has it's own glass and won't interchange.
    Now for seatbelts my interchange doesn't even list them until '66. I know my Dad's old 64 Falcon didn't have them but we added them from either an early Mustang or Granada. I just took apart an old Granada and I think the rear seatbelts would have worked perfectly for this application as they were lap belts only and looked to be the correct legnth.
    For headliners there is a guy on ebay who sells new ones as well and I think you can choose the color.
    I hope that helps.
    Enjoy your visit, I'm not sure about the area you are visting but I know it has been unusually cool here for this time of year, high 80's to low 90's and nice and cool evenings and mornings. I have lived here since 1980 and it usually get so hot that it is still 80 in the morning, just doesn't cool down. I am sure it will get there soon though.:eek:
