I ran the # apparently it's for a 63 only, i have a 64 dodge 2 dr sedan it looks the same but i won't take it off my sedan to see if it fits.

So only two spears swings then?? Not the entire outer plate...

I'll take it.. PM sent.

Just and FYI that is a '63 only if you're looking for a correct one you need one that opens like this '64 below.. Very similar but when you see them at the same time very different

Not like this '63

yes i see the difference, i just checked the one on my 64 and i see the difference why did they change it and do you think it would STILL work on a 64 ??

That I don't know. You can see where the lock sits is a little different and I don't know if the contour is the same on the 2 decklids.. I just wanted to let Dadsbee know it's not what he is looking for. Great part/price though!!!

i just checked, the one i have (63) is a little bit smaller & it lays flat on the trunk & on my 64 it has a contour on the trunk so it will NOT work, i will let him know what i found, THX for your input.

i have a western 63 trunk i will just put it on it and try and sell it that way problem shipping the hood would cost more than the price of the hood, unless i can sell it to someone in wisc/mn/nd/sd/iowa/neb or illonois

Sorry guys, winds to 80K ++ here and the power keeps going out. So the key hole is in a higher location on the '63 than the '64 as well so I'm out. Sorry to mess up the sale thread... now to go get the rest of my x cables up in my hangar..

Thanks BpBp for clearing this up for us..
