I've traced both clusters and have made up two diagrams of the plug wiring. The first shows the original 1969 Full size Pontiac standard instrument cluster configuration, with the Rally cluster to the right. The Rallys wiring is likely unique to the USA car, athough it is possible Canadian Cars w...

I think they made the hook style seen below forever. I know I could get all this stuff new, but I'm shying away from the USA parts houses right now. Looking for nice hooks, visor mounts and the associated screws if possible. Any help appreciated,

I know, I know, I've been down this road before... Looking for a good 65 lens. 3 3/4" in diameter, 5/8" tall. I'm to assume the 65-66 chev or pontiac will work but I'm unsure. I know the later ones will not fit. Educate me please! Any help appreciated.

Car went to the Trim Shop and the headliner was pulled down to reveal the mounting point for the 3 point seat belts. Quite rusty... Fortunately the mounting point has the nuts captured in the frame of the roof. Too much work to spray the roof with the Lizard Skin sound proofing.. Would be many ho...

I have been watching the other posts about stereo upgrades. My rules were, No holes, No wires to be cut. I like the idea of a radio made to fit my car. Fortunately for us, Pontiac used the same radio in other cars. But only one company seems to deal with a direct fit for my car. I went with that one from Midwest...

are the 66 GP seat covers the same pattern as Caprice or US Bonneville ?

On the 65-66 B Body Sedans there is a pressboard panel that just kind of hangs off the sail structure and rear bow. The headliner coming down doesn't at all contact it. Any idea what they are for? Would be useless as a sound deadener or any kind of insulation. Could it be as just a protection panel to keep r...

Anyone replace it? My 65 post was missing it. I bet it crumbled when the rear window was replaced and they never bothered with it. So I see they are readily available in black, at what seems to be a ridiculous price for two pieces of molded plastic and a center joining piece. But you obviously have little c...

Looking for some good images of the 65-66, 2 door sedan interior rear window trim. As to how the trim sits in the corners, the surround and joining top clip. Any help appreciated. Would like to see how it all sits. My 65 was missing all but one corner of it. Anyone know if the 4 door sedan was the same trim?...

Is the 65 B vent supposed to have another clipped on passenger side deflector? Looks like there is a provision for it to the right side of the deflector. If yes, does anyone have one?

So now I've reached a biggie (at least in my mind). Doing the headliner in my 65. I'll try to document this one the best I can, as it might actually be useful to others. Once done the headliner, glass in, the car can get it's safety and be finally put on the road! Still a ways away yet, I still have to pull the b...

I was a fellows house tonight buying a 64 Beaumont console and the fellow had this for sale also, he said he thinks it was for a 66 Parisienne. So I took a chance and bought it also, can anybody confirm what it is and maybe tell me what its worth.

There was some talk that I should install shoulder belts in my 65 Sedan. It makes sense to do it at this time as the headliner and carpet are out. And I do understand the importance of them in a 65 without having even a collapsible steering column. There is no good reason not to do it. I just want to start a thr...

I have pulled the dash cluster out of the '69, to convert the ammeter gauge in the rally cluster. In addition, I thought I would put #168 LED's in the cluster.

So, when I restored the interior on my 69 2+2, I installed an NOS trim plate that mounts on the instrument cluster. It had the factory adhesive tape on it, and over the last few years, has lifted off at the edges. I removed it and cleaned the adhesive off the cluster and the trim piece. I am ready to reinstal...
