Sure did.

I have shop manuals, Ford shop manuals, original manuals, DVD's and about ten catalogs from vendors.
Where is the actual 1960/64 Ford parts catalog...no see um. I'm gonna assume you have it...

As does Dearborn. However, Dearborn subtlety acknowledges that the parts don't fit in their catalog. Yes, they sell the part, then say, oh, by the way, it's wrong'.
Since you have the FORD parts catalog, look up the *****, could be basic number 17513 or 18519.

When you cannot find a listing...look up the cables: 9700 choke, 18518 or 18552 for the heater cable, 01890/91 for the vent cables.

No ***** listed there? Go to body illustration 030, look at the dash pics.

I could tell you, but since you have the parts catalog...

Over the past 10 years, I've spent over 10 grand at Dearborn for my two 1963 Galaxies 500XL's and 1968 Galaxie XL.

Never had a problem, because I knew what I was ordering, what would fit, what would not, because I have the FORD parts catalogs.
