Do Ghia foot rests interchange with other VWs?

I'm not sure about all years, but I know for my '63 that they do not interchange. The swoop over the end of the heater channel is a different contour.

I had a '70 Bug and now a '69 Ghia, foot rests are different.

I guess that`s why a Ghia footrest costs double that of a bugs.

It should be like a $20 part. Contact northwestghiaguy, (not sure of his samba name, but its close to that). Or contact anyone parting out a ghia in the classifieds. Do you need single or 2 tab, I may even have a rough one in the garage.
