Will 1968 rear frame rails from a b body work on a 1967 dodge coronet as you see back bumper gone and only way to secure bumper is to replace rear frame rails and I am doing a full restoration on car and the no way in hell I gonna settle for rail caps

Sherman ones say 68 to 70 So I would assume 66/67 are different. Its odd though the frame rail caps say 66 to 70.. So Who knows maybe they will work.

Well first chance I get I will look into it

66-67 b body should be different from 68-70 since trunk floors are different

68 have a different fuel tank mounting. I just posted a nice 67 Coronet set for $250.

I've found that 66-67 coronets are on their own (mine is 66). You might be able to use 66-67 satellite stuff in some cases, maybe.

Plymouth has a different wheelbase so they don't fit Dodges.

Check the "For Sale" exterior parts forum, there's and ad for 67 rear frame rails

Well actually I could be wrong. I was told the frame rails would not fit a Plymouth because of a different wheelbase but internet says both are 116". I dunno..........

So there is a difference between Dodge and Plymouth, but may not be the wheelbase. See the FBBO thread below. Also the part numbers for Dodge and Plymouth are different so I am quite certain Dodge and Plymouth rear rails are different.

A question about frame dimensions Dodge vs Plymouth

Here is a side by side comparison between a '70 b body (on the left) and '66 (on the right). There are a few minor differences (holes) but I think they are basically the same due to 66-70 b bodies being the same platform. You can cut and section a piece in if need be, that's what I did on the '70. I hope this helps.
