Okay I admit I did not open the bag when I received my replacement pillar covers (several) years ago because I assumed :-[ the add was correct that they fit my year car.
Now that I'm taking inventory and lining up things for reassembly I find they are NOT the same as the originals :huh: ; the screw hole location are not the same nor is the quantity of holes. Here is a photo of the comparison; original on top. Label too. It may not matter but the slotted end tabs on the replacements are a bit longer than the originals too.
Are there two styles for the E-body? Different year parts?
:wrenching:
So are you saying the two-hole ones I bought are for a 70-71 while the one-hole ones are for 72-74 and only come in black? Mine car is a 72.
Thanks.

1970 to mid 1971 are different. The screw holes are in a different location as you have found out. I just got a pair from Roseville Chrysler for my AAR they only come in black so you will need to be paint them white.
here's a thought....put the trim in place and drill new holes :alan2cents: and move on
Thanks for your :alan2cents: it did come to mind on the onset and I may end up doing that; we'll see how they fit before drilling in case I have to unload them for the right ones.
I just thought it odd that there would be two different covers for the 70-74 models. Funny thing too is the originals have a blank to drill them out for a second screw, even but the blank is still in a different location than the apparent earlier covers.

The first clue should have been the Palco Dashtop brand name.....
They only left out one word from their label to be accurate..
