67 kickpanel vents different handle location

[guyryan100]

Hi,
I purchased 2 new kickpanel vent doors, they were noted to be compatible with 1967 trucks but I'm finding that the mounting location for the control rod is different - it was up a couple of inches higher on my truck than the replacements are.

I don't want to drill new holes in the cab. Are there any alternatives other than repairing my original vent doors? Meaning does anyone sell the 1967 style?

BTW the vent doors themselves fit, its just the location of the control arms that's the issue.
