Pickup Options

What are my options for putting different pickups in a '67 Vette? Are Filtertrons an option for the thin bodied Vette? I'd like to stay away from any additional routing.

current vettes sport Mega'Trons, which look the same size as Filters.

Believe TV Jones are same dimensions. He lists the dimensions as follows:

1.375"x2.812"
.625" high neck
.750" high bridge

This is for the NE Filtertron mount. Height just for the cover, not the pole screws.

Hi fretfire! Be careful to the height : the old hilos are really small on vette and you won t find a correct type pu to drop in without making a cavity!

Does anyone know of any issues with upgrading the pickups in my 5120 to the same pickups that are in the White Falcon?

Well considering it comes with filters and dynas it depends how much work you want to do. Filters Kindof drop in with adapters and sometimes ring risers. Dynas take a lot of measuring and drilling for adapters or mounts or even simply top mounting them over the cavity. (Which barely measures up to cover the HB cavity.
