Dash Caps Discontinued? Or 67 vs 68?

The turned down ends of the 68 pad and cap are cut shorter to join those 1 year only lower pads. The 68 cap will lay on the pad. I put a cap in our first 67 fish years ago. It was the 69 up type so it didn't have the little 67 definition line in the top of it. Difficult part was getting the correct color red on it. It fit fine, lasted for years, looked a lot better than the cracked cap under it.
You could watch for sale listings or post in parts wanted for used pad or cap. If you buy a 50 yr old pad, be very careful with it. A bump or pinch could crack it.
