Projects 36 Ford 5 window

Well I bought a 5 window coupe that was built in the late 80's . The interior needs done. I need to find out the measurements for the w/s header panel as it is missing. Have found some via internet but their not sure of the year. Could someone tell me the distance from the lower w/s tabs across (hook a tape on one end and to the other, outside to outside) and also the width at the center, I think there is a speaker knock out there. Thanks guys,

 

How about some pics?

 

My recollection of that panel is that there is indeed a speaker cut out (quite large - 6" diameter maybe?) in the center and there's also mounts for sun shades at each side - a center hole for the tension spring and probably 2 or more likely 3 holes for screws for the shade mount / foot. It also curves downwards at the sides to flow into the screen pillars.

Long time since I saw the one I had though.

Here is what I know with pictures. Hope it helps. Picture of inside the car, is my '35, I hope they are the same.

 

I was incorrect in my earlier post when I said the were interchangable and only slightly different, according to "flatheadfan", a senior member of Ford Barn. He states they are much different and will NOT interchange.

If the taller one with speaker is '36 I won't be needing the one I have.

 

I think the taller one with the speaker is 35, and I hope so! I just bought one on ebay and the guy said his car was a 36 and got rear ended Guess I'll find out for sure in about 1-2 weeks, holiday shipping

 

All the best to you. Here's hoping it's the one you need.
