" Andrew, why are you asking about explaining how you could run ambo pieces on your 67 Marlin?  Pretty visible they have the same basic front. I did not see anyone say you could not use 68 Ambo pieces on a 67 marlin. 

that was my point.  i didn't have to change the entire clip to do it
as steve seemed to think; i only used the grille and lights.

i may have used one fender and the bumper; iirc this was after the car
was hit.

i never said nor meant to imply that '67-up ambos and rebels swapped.
iirc '67 was the first year they had different wheelbases.

" IMHO the 67 marlin was the winner in the overall run of Marlins.  Even though I prefer horizontal hlamps over stacked. Shame they made so few!

i can't disagree!

this year at sturbridge i heard the story of '67 marlin vin#2551,
ordered july '67 and delivered with a '68 mirror.  makes me wonder if
they'd have made '68 marlins if requested, even though not in the
catalog.
