What year did parts from 61 62 change. I have a early 62 notch and I'm trying to figure out what year parts I can look at and still be correct.

You might want to consider keeping all your questions in one build thread. It's generally easier for everyone to keep up with what's been asked and answered, and what all you've done to your car, and what parts you need.

Got it. Well the main things I need are rear popouts, front seats, z armrest and trim of for the pushbuttons on the dash. Thanks for the advice though

Some items are '61/2 only, like the popouts. IIRC your car should also have the all white shift knob, early nose badge, and "big 1500" script on the rear.

Trim for the pushbuttons is the same through '64.

Other parts are '61-63, but like I said, there are some specialized items that are early- early only.

Some early cars had 4 vent knobs instead of 3 as well.

If I recall there are some "What makes it early" type threads that notchboy started on here. You might want to pm him with some questions as he is THE early early car geek.

Do you mean the grey/white knob? That is later.

62s and early 63s have the all white shift knob.
