well, technically, it is different. but only by the rivets, spot welded to suit mouldings for each & of course the badge hole location!!!!!! maybe youre confusing yourself with the HK boot lid??? regards DD www.bellarineclassicautos.com.au

Generally speaking, Aside from paint, chrome, trim or driveline. Anything forward of the front windscreen and rear of the rear windscreen are all interchangable HK, HT and HG 4 door to 2 door sedans are all the same except external rear quarter panels. Maybe drill a hole here or there. You can even move back a touch say everything forward of the front door hinges and below the dash pad line are all interchangable then that would include all the commercials too then. If you want to include the driveline also all the same, but you add to the drill an oxy and a lump hammer. You can even add to all that all sedan floor pans are the same. There is another way of looking at this. Everything except that between the front door hinges back to the boot hinges above the floor pan and below the dash line all the rest are all interchangable for the sedans 2 and 4 door HK-T-G. A bit further, If you remove the doors and rear quarters and everything above the dash pad all the rest interchange. Even then all front doors are the same sedans and commercials except monaro. Correct me if I'm wrong. Does'nt leave much does it. Maybe it would be easier to say what is NOT interchangable. But to answer the question, YES all HT-G boots and HK for that matter are interchangable and if you wish to add the trim across the back you will only need to drill some holes.....Jack.

Will not the scalloped HK boot mis-align with the flat ht one? Pretty wet boot me thinks?? (but then I might know Jack??!! :-) http://farm1.static.flickr.com/175/429189562_cb3d467c2a.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/168/409742681_377d34d2c4.jpg |
Stepping stone or stumbling block...your choice |

I don't believe Blameyone meant that an HT boot-lid would fit an HK. I think what he meant was that in HK boot-lids are interchangeable between sedan & coupe & in HT/HG they are interchangeable between sedan & coupe.
Strangely though, an HT boot-lid will fit an HK, I've seen it done. It looks awful because of the mismatch in the outer panel, but the boot seal lip area, as well as hinges & lock, are the same, it won't leak.
Another thing about HK/T/G boot-lids which many don't realise is that the regular HT/HG lid was first seen on the HK Brougham.

OK, I did speculate HT-G . I am fully aware that the HK boot-lid is totally different ..
Thanks for the replies.
