Help ID wing vent frames

I have two very good, probably NOS but not in a wrapper or box, wing vent frames that I am not sure what they go to. There is a piece of masking tape one that is written, "C8TZ-9721609A." This frame has a sharp angled corner to it.

But don't 67 to 72 wing vents have a rounded corner? I don't think it should be for a 73 to 79 either. Thanks!

The other one is not labeled but does have a more rounded corner. Is this one for a 67 o 72 truck?

C8TZ-9721609-A is the painted left vent frame for a 1968/77 Bronco.

1966/67: There was a painted version; 1967 also had a chrome version.

Neither is the same as 1968/77. The handles are specific to 1966/67 or to 1968/77.

1968/77 Bronco vent handles are the same as 1968/72 F100/750.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1967 F100/750: The vent frame and the handles are 1967 only!

1968/72 F100/750 use different vent frames and handles.

1967's look the same as 1968/72's, but looks can be deceiving.

1967's have dozens of one year only parts that were not used on 1968/72's.

Thanks, Bill. I was just looking at my September issue of Vintage Truck and there is a nice Bronco in it and my old brain figured what I have just might be for a 68 bronco.

What about the frame that has the curved corner, anyone?

Can anyone ID this vent frame? It has no numbers on it.

It's not 1967 F100/750, because '67's don't have that pivot bracket.

1968/72 F100/750 used a different pivot bracket than 1973/79 F100/880, but this vent frame could be from a car. In fact, it may not even be from a FoMoCo vehicle.

Trying to ID vent frames from FoMoCo parts catalog pics, can be a study in futility.

FTE member JEFFFAFA is a Ford parts guy at an AZ Ford dealership, owns a 1969 F250.

JEFFFAFA may be able to pin it down, but I cannot...as I have nothing to compare it to.

None of the pics I looked at had that mellow curve at the top. I tried Bullnose, baby Ranger/Bronco II, and 75/ Econolines.

So the best I can figure is that it's a 68/72 Bumpside one. But I can't find any pics of one.
L/S.....C8TZ8121609A.
R/S.....C8TZ8121608A.

Who needs a pic when one owns one a these rolling piles of misery?

Unless you're driving it, look at your Bumpside vent frames when you get home.
