    i didnt know there was ever a different between package trays for early cars (besides a/c and non-a/c cars) but today i removed the one from my '69.5 only to find it was quite a bit heavier than the others of mine. when i flipped it over, i discovered it was made of fiberglass. has anyone else ever noticed this before???

    the try that i put into my 76 was padded across the front. aparently this was a LDO piece. but thats the only diffrence ive ever seen. i'll take a look at my '72's though next time im in it

    Both of mine, 75 Mav and 72 Sprint are cardboard type panels with jute backing over the leading edges.
