Pretty sure they are the same for
the hardtops also, 68-72. I have a set
from a 69 if you can use them, $35 + ship.
P.S. Welcome to CO.

They are definitely different. I have one of the two but not both of them.

Thanks Henry & Scott.
I'm wondering if they may be
a bit shorter on the vert. I would
think the lids would weigh about
the same.

One of the ends is the same but the other is completely different. I am not at home right now otherwise I could get you some pictures.

Scott, maybe you could send Ken (sweetkp)
a pm and get him fixed up. Looks
like I wont be able to. He doesn't have
any rods at all to be able to take a measurment.
The ones I have are for a 69 hardtop.

Adam,
Here are a couple pix of coupe & conv ones. The 2 on the left are for a coupe & the 5 on the left are for a conv. Looks like I do have the 2 piece set for a conv. I'll get with him. Thanks.
