Is this fuse box correct

The covers for the fuse box in my frunk don’t look right. There are 18 fuse positions but each cover only covers 8 fuses, leaving 2 fuses exposed. Also, the label in the cover describes stuff a I think a ‘73 wouldn’t have had.

Am I correct that one or both of these covers is wrong ?

Anybody know the correct part?

Looks just like the fuse panel on my 1973.5.

There are indeed two separate fuse panels.

Three if you include the optional 2 fuse AC Panel which would be on top.

Just reread your post. The upper cover is too short.

Per the 1973 wiring diagrams, these are the factory fuses. 10 in the top box and 8 in the lower box.

Yes it looks like you have two smaller covers and you need one large and one small. Easy fix.

Where can I get the 10 position cover?
I see originals on eBay for stupid money, but not being completely stupid, I’d settle for a knock-off.

You might want to try the used parts places like DC Automotive. You can buy new complete panels here or at S T O D D A R D.
