I have a 1965 Deluxe bus. I have a parcel tray that has a dip in the center
will this work or will it interfere with something?
Thanks in advance Terry |

The dip in the center is a 1967 only style. I think it will work and give you additional clearance around the wiper.
I'd test fit to be sure if you're planning to paint or restore. |

Good to know of yet another 67 only feature.

'66 buses have the dip in the front wall of the package tray also.

Hmmm, mut be a late 66 thing. Neither of our 66 buses have the dipped front wall?
When did the wiper change which necessitated the parcel tray change? |

My understanding is the tray was changed for more clearance for the 66/67 wiper motor assembly
