64-66 headlight ring question

I recently picked up an aluminion grille for a64-66 off the Internet. When I got it in it had 2 different headlight rings. One has 3 notches in it for access to the headlight adjusting screws and the other does not.

I have never noticed this difference before in any of the grilles, guess I just never paid that much attention before.

Does anyone know what year or years had the notches for the adjusting screws? I am assuming 66 only......

Does anyone have a decent aluminion headlight ring they wanna sell so I can make them match?

Thanks in advance

Let me look at the shop I might have one for you. I had 2 trucks I used for parts and one had an aluminum grille. I am working today but I will try to remember to look when I get home.

The ones with no adjusting holes were original from factory. The ones with holes were replacements from the dealer. They made it so you don't need to pull headlight ring to adjust head lamp.

Hey Sig sorry but I forgot about the ring last night. I have been working long hours and totally forgot. I will make myself a note and check when I get off work tonight.

Is this what you are needing? I have a two hole and three hole. Three hole has some white paint on it. I think the three hole is factory. Or are you needing the bezel.
