1967 radio install.

I put a knobless type Pioneer stereo in my truck years ago. I cut the dash tabs out and a shop do the install. This was done 20yrs ago. My Stereo face plate was stolen and the stereo doesn't work anymore so I need to put in a new one. This time I figured I would do the Metra Volvo adapter. Took the old radio out and tried to fit the new metra adapter but it is too wide. Plus, i don't have the tabs to fold back to screw the adapter to. It's been so long ago I don't remember what the tabs looked like in a 67. I thought the Volvo plate would fit the radio opening but is the 67 a smaller opening than the 68-72? Not sure how to tackle this now.

1967 F100/750 radio is 1967 only. The radio block off plate is also 1967 only.

The ash tray and dash board are also 1967 only, as are the economy & deluxe heaters.

1968/72's use a different radio, ash tray, radio block off plate, heater and dash board.

Thanks numbers! I'm looking at the pieces that came with my metra kit and have a few ideas of what I can do to make it work. A little cutting and massaging here and there. We'll see.

Numbers, the dashboard is different? Is that the pad or the whole metal part of the entire dash?

Dash is different due to the 1967 radio and ashtray and the deluxe heater, that has 3 ***** below the radio.

The padded dash is also 1967 only as is the firewall, brake & clutch pedals, bracket under the dash they suspend from.

I assume you already know about the 1967 doors...

Yeah, I know the door handles and armrest are different but I know that the window regulators fit from a 68-72 even though they say 67 is different..

'67 is different.

1967: You push the inside handles forward to lock the doors, 1968/72's have door lock *****.

1967 only: Door shells, door lock remote controls, window regulators, inside door and window crank handles, vent frames and handles, door latches, door lock cylinder rods, armrests, door trim panels.

1967/72 same: Upper/lower hinges, outside door handles, glass, division bars, weatherstrips, door lock cylinders.
