Steel deck lid for a 1963 Savoy. What years will interchange?

[Snook]

I'm shedding the fiberglass parts on my car and I need a deck lid. Does anyone know what 62-65 models will interchange with a 1963 Savoy post car?

Thanks, Chuck

I don't think any -

That's what I was afraid of.

Ain't 65s the same? I know 64s have wider tail lights.

I hope you're right, it would double the chances of finding a good one.

Thanks, Chuck

After looking at a bunch of photos it looks like the '63 & '65 might be the sane - '64 definitely not. The '63 & '65 bumpers look the same too -

I've always been under the impression 65 would fit on 63. Have not tried it myself though. I too thought the 64's were different at the corners.

65 front bumper has turn signals, 63 does not. Rear looks good though.

Thanks, Chuck

63 only 64 different because of the tail lights 65 will fit but it dont take the chrome stripe on it

Yeah, I would have to drill the holes to mount the trim.

Thanks, Chuck

According to the Hollanders the lids are year specific.

Yeah, they have different part numbers. I had Kramer's verify that 63 & 65 are interchangeable, they just need the trim holes done on the 65 lid. Thanks for looking that up though. I'll verify that for sure though when the 65 lid gets here and I'll let everyone know the correct answer.

I just went through as I have 2 of each the 63 and 65 Plymouth lids. They are the same size and shape. The under structures have different holes and as stated the 65 has different trim holes.

Are the decklid mounts the same and in the same places between 63 & 65? Or is it just appearance changes (which I don't care about)?

They are the same. Just some different holes.

Did you find a lid?

 

[Snook]

Yeah, I found a 65 lid, just waiting on a shipping quote from TX to FL. Thanks for the pics, that helps a lot.

Okay if it doesn't pan out let me know. I still have a couple. Just sent one to NY.

Will do, thanks
