Also I believe the late 66 to 67 gates are different than all of the rest since there is a rectangle pressing behind each hinge, which continued into the bay gates. I do not know if the width of the bed changed at all, so an early bay rear gate could still fit a split??

My early 66 did not have this rectangle pressing.

'67 is the one year w/ the pressing around the hinges, '66 did not have that.
I just noticed last summer my '66 has a ' 67 gate on one side (pass. side), and a '66 on the other..... Embarassed

It also had a '67 Pass. side rear quater panel added, it has the indent for the gas door, '67 only........

What does the pressing seem to have achieved? Was that a weak area that cracked in earlier versions? If so, how does the pressing come into play or is it just cosmetic?

My 67 DC only has the pressing on the rear gate, the side gates do not have it.
