Experts, how about a "master" parts interchange?

Say like:

411/412 part= or can use: "X" type 3 part

Maybe time to collect a lot of the wisdom dispensed in the forum to date?

Just a thought....

tail lights are not identical, squareback lights are different from the coupe de 412s

The tail lights from the 411 wagons will fit the 411 4 doors in some years. Its the rear fenders and valance that are different, not the lights. When the 412 started, it used the same rear lights as the late 411....until late 73 when the pneumatic bumper came along. Then it used a totally different light assembly.

I have a collection of lights spanning most of the permuations. If we start at least compiling a list of what part #'s we wat to know about, when I get back t my storage unit in Dallas...I can dig a few things out. I am hoping to have the contents of my "little black book" put on disk in the next month or so. Ray
