From the tech section:

There are two different styles of chrome hood letters. The 1967- 1969 style is smaller and has small ribs which run horizontally through each letter. The later style doesn't have the ribs and has a satin-like finish inside each letter. The '67-'69 style is pressed onto clips in the hood, whereas the '70-'72 style is held onto the hood with nuts from the backside.

In this photo, the '67-'69 style is on bottom and the '70-'72 version is shown on top. Because of the difference in size and mounting pin location, they are not interchangeable.

Yes I have seen that just wanted a second opinion because of the way the add is worded fits 70-79 models. Got me confused for a minute

Ask the seller if there are any part numbers on the back of the letters.

The F-O-R-D emblems in that listing are '70-'72 so they should fit just fine.

I texted the guy I'm getting everything for 22 dollars in think I got a good deal. Checked ebay and reproduction emblems at lmc they cost at least twice as much

Well I got the parts finally all of them have a fomoco logo on the back and they fit perfect makes a big difference in appearance

I don't mean to hijack but I have a '68 truck and it has the smooth letters that are 70'-72' style. I guess someone changed out a hood then. That also explains the blue paint under the peeling green.

Yep, must have changed the hood. My 68 has the lower kind with the ridges.
The top for 70-72 look a lot like the ones on my 74 dentside.
