Parts interchange.60 to 66 T-bird

[wfopossum]

What parts will interchange between a 1960 T-bird and a 1966 T-bird ? I found a pair of 66's for sale locally and was wondering which parts will fit my 60. Don't the disc brakes,rearend and eng/trans swap over ?

Not much. Ford changed a lot every 3 years (each body change). In 1966 Ford started putting the C6 transmission out as an option in the T-Bird as well...

You need to get a hold of a Hollander Interchange set Volume III. This a two part set that covers all 1954-1966 American cars. It's what the scrap yards use.

Interchange

Most parts interchanges for '58-'60 'Birds are mechanical items, and most of these items will cross with '57-'64 full-size Fords, and there should be some Mercury/Lincoln items that cross. Body parts, glass, trim, etc. is all unique to the '58-'60. As noted, Hollander interchange manual is best bet for non-Ford-published interchange info.

driveline interchange

I figured most everything besides the driveline wouldn't fit,I was mainly concerned about the disc brakes,tranny,rearend etc.
