For those who have noticed that I have stripped out some parts from a 1972 Lincoln a continental Mark IV.........
One of the parts I was able to rescue was the door speaker grill. The part number is: D30A-18978-A. I was looking at some other parts today and noticed "boy, that speaker grill looks a LOT like the one in the '72 GTS interior door panel. So I pulled out one of my panels to check that grill. Yup, sure looks the same.....turned it over to check the number---Same thing. Checked another one.....same thing but with the number D20Z-18978-A. The driver door has the grill, the passenger door does not, BUT--when I turned the panel over, the lines for the cut out are cast into the plastic, so it can easily be cut right on the provided lines, and this grill will pop right in. all I need to do is change the color. So long and short, the door speaker grill from the 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is a direct swap to the GTS door speaker grill. fwiw, Dave F Edited by hogfiddles - 16-January-2019 at 4:27PM |

72-76 Mark IV, Thunderbird are essentially bloated Torinos on the 4-door wheelbase.
And Ford loved parts-bin engineering.

pretty sure the door speaker grill spams across the Ford / Lincoln / Mercury line for years
