    So did the 1973 have a tray or a glove box? I sold you a bezel for a tray car.

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    one of my 73s has a tray. the radio that came with it had an offset knob due to the fact that the knob side on the bezel was sized differant length on one side. or maybe i should say it was spaced, maybe the radio you have is for the earlier model.

    also my other 73 has the glove box the bezel was metal i have seen later 73s with a plastic ones.

    This '73 Grabber has a lower dash and glove box, so it did'nt need the bezel after all. That was my error. To tell the truth, I'm not that familar with the '73 Mavericks and that some had glove boxes and others had package trays. The bezel won't go to waste. We gave the Grabber's owner his money back for the bezel which we will hang onto in case we ever run into this problem again. This paticular Grabber was built in Canada and has a build date of March of '73. Was the package tray replaced with the lower dash and glove box about mid way through the production year? I'm not sure and the car's owner is wondering the same thing.

    I am not exactly sure when it was replaced with a glove box....but I would say it was early on in the model year.

    I've had a few
    My 4 door that had the package tray, the VIN ends in 100945... so it's definitely an "early" car.
