70 Mach rear spoiler - how to tell real deal?

[miketyler]

I have been told the gull wing spoiler on my Cuda looks like a Ford. How can I tell if its FoMoCo? I have bought a repop for the car but if I have the real thing on my Cuda, its coming off and I will put the repop on it (assuming same pedestal spacing.)

So are their part numbers under the pedestals or? I have looked all over and found nothing.

Yeah there are part numbers on the underside of the pedestals. I don't recall any numbers on the wing itself.

I just found one on Ebay for a nice picture of the pedestal stand stampings. See here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ORIGINAL-1970-FORD-MUSTANG-REAR-SPOILER-BOSS-302-MACH-1-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255c0be35aQQitemZ160458072922QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

ok, I found one local that has a paart number of D1ZB-634226AWA. I'm guessing this is actually a 71 wing? Is it different than 69-70 style?

Yep, appears it is the 71 wing. They are indeed different than the 69/70 wings. I don't know the exact differences but I think the 71-73 wings were wider and the spacing between the pedestals differed from the 69/70 wings.
