This is the best upgrade tower for your Cougar or Mustang that does not have the factory reinforcement plate. 1969 features the largest plate of all years 1968-70 and will fit perfectly without modification into any year 1967-70. If both of your towers are cracked this is a no brainer, if only one of your towers are cracked then it would look out of place to have one tower that is reinforced and one that was not. No specific part number for this structural front suspension section. For 1970, the plate size was shortened, for easier access for spark plug changes.
Our used 1970 shock tower is a better value, if concours correctness is not a consideration.
Generic Ford part # C9ZZ-16055-B, included apron and side member.
