1968 Plymouth GTX

['68 Coronet R/T]

There is a chrome piece that the rear interior quarter panels fit into.
Does anyone know what they call it or have a part number for it?

Trying to find stuff in my '68 Service Manual and '68 Complete Parts List is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Need pic! Can you find it on another car and post it?

The circled part?

That would be my guess, but I'm not Harry Houdini.

Yes, sir.
My passenger side is in good shape but the driver's side isn't. I might be able to fix it but thought I would check to see if anyone sells them?

Installed the hood today.

My block has been bored .030" oversized and inspected for any cracks or defects. Everything looks good according to the shop so I placed an order
for the following which will arrive by Friday:

Sealed Power Forged Pistons L2355F30 (.030” oversized, 2.061” high)
Sealed Power Rings SLP-E424K30 (for above pistons)

King Main Bearings MB5116SI STDX (stock size)
Sealed Power Rod Bearings 82130CP (stock size)

He is supplying the cam bearings and brass freeze plugs.

I will take the crank, connecting rods, flexplate and harmonic balancer to him when I deliver the above so he can check to see if balancing is necessary.

Also order the headliner, interior rear window trim, new dome light lens, carpet and door sill plates and windlace.

Plan is to get the remaining interior trim painted first and then begin the installation nightmare.

I will look when I get home, pretty sure I have at least one in my stash. If I have what you need, it’s all yours…

That would be fantastic. I will definitely cover any shipping costs.
