65-70 Full Size Body Tech Forum

I'm looking for something to dig into right now. The wiper motor from my 65 works, but it certainly needs a spruce up on the grungy case and body, and probably some lubrication. So it'll make a good small project. It has an aftermarket washer pump setup, which I kind of like, so it might not even be origina...

Anyone here have a genuine Canadian Pontiac 1965 AM antenna for sale? One that would have been front fender mounted. There is a cheesy aftermarket antenna in place on my 65, and obviously the hole was drilled, and it was added later as the car came with a radio delete plate. So it's all garbage. I'm not up...

There was a thread with discussion on where to locate emblems on a particular vehicle. Todd has suggested that there be a section in each of the separate forums for particular models, so I will start one in each of those sections. If you are able to assist with specs on body emblem placement for the model...

Some of you may be tired of me talking about these nice US clusters (with oil and temp gauge) that we never got in our Canadian cars. They are hard to find, expensive to buy and on top of that they use a unique oil pressure sending unit that was never used in any other GM vehicle. Those senders are tough to fi...

Does anyone have, or can get a nice clear, straight on image of a 1969 B Body inner door frame, 2 door style. Minus the door card and moisture barrier? You'd think I'd have one, but no. Online seems to be limited as well. 69 is similar to 70, but has differences. Just looking to study the window runs and reg...

It seems to me that Ken posted up about his experience installing his window seals after his car was painted. I can't find that thread to add my own experience to it, so I'll start another one with apologies if there happens to be some overlap. I also know I posted a link on how to do this, from another forum...

Can someone tell me what the 67 Parisienne bumper emblem is made of. Is it all metal? saw one recently off the car and chrome was rubbed off in lots of places and looked to be plastic or rubber. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

Hey there. I'm about to start putting power windows in. I found those two plates (round and oval) on the doors and fenders. Are those for power window harness? If so, are they welded in or bolted from the inside and can be removed? I assume I have to take off the doors to drill the holes if those plugs are not...

I spotted this car along one of the side roads, and a few things jumped out at me. We often see photos of 69 2+2 louvers put on backwards, so I guess this guy with his 67 was hedging his bets by installing each side differently: (Passenger side is correct) And check out this custom tail pan. He's gone even...

Well started poking around the body a little more thoroughly. And I'm finding some fun spot to work on this winter. Honestly the car is almost 60 years old and I got it for under 5k I'd be surprised if I didn't find this kind of "body work" do we have any sources for rear quarter panels at all?

Howdy folks, I am on the hunt for a driver quality or better rear bumper for my 67 Bonneville. I do have a core and the one on the car has a few dents so I would like to pop a better one on there if I can find one. I think its the same as the rear used on the 67 GP, Cat and Par. Thanks! Dave

Howdy folks, I just realized I have a corner light out and its an old GE1195 bulb. Has anyone swapped to a modern equivelant or is it better to stick to the original. Thanks!

Has anyone installed the 1966 impala gas tank in a full size Pontiac WITHOUT changing the NECK. I realize there is a bit of a curve in the Pontiac thats not in the Chevy.

Hey there. I noticed one of my reverse lights is missing a light bulb and wiring (there is just a home on the back of the housing). Trying to find a wire with a light bulb socket - no luck, only see the whole housing assembly with chrome, wire etc. do I need to purchase the whole housing there is any way to get j...

Years ago I installed power locks from a later model (70's - 80's) GM on the black 66 Grande Parisienne that Tom from Edmonton now has. I plan to do that again on the 66 I have now, so recently it was testing time just to make sure it all works. When I bought this car from Ken he included the matching switches f...

Hey there, I found a nice set of trims including wheels well pieces, unfortunately with no those nice wide stainless steel panels, only thin trims and wheels well trims. For wheel well it seems I have most of holes, not a big issue to drill a couple more (except the very rear wheel well piece, it doesn't s...
