Just Picked up a 66 SD Beaumont and am wondering if the rocker trim off of a 66 Malibu is the same (as they are available from OPGI). I can not find real clear pictures but they seem to be closer than what is on the 66 Chevelle.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?? Might be willing to buy any rocker pieces you may have. My car is a pretty clean driver but has Chevelle rocker mouldings that I want to swap out to be correct.

Thanks,

Kevin

Malibu should have smooth ones like an SD where Malibu SS and Super Sport Chevelle have ribbed ones - trouble is SD has quarter panel ones but Malibu doesn't

Just checked the OPGI on line catalog and they have a "smooth" extension for the lower rear : part #7639CRS... have a peak and let me know if this looks right.  Not sure myself??

Been in contact with OPGI and it turns out that the part  #7639CRS is a rocker extension for el-camino's which obviously will not work for the SD Beaumont...oh well...the hunt continues for the elusive rear rocker trim.

 Ken, do you know for sure that the rockers for the Malibu are the same as SD? Are they the same part number in GM parts books?

 Malibu - not Malibu SS or Chevelle Super Sport -- problem is the quarter panel pieces did not come on a Malibu - only Beaumont SD

Get Carl to double check part numbers but last I recall yes same #

with a grain of salt I believe those same parts books call a 67 Super Sport and 67 SD with the 'same' number rocker moldings even though their not - SD has brushed insert, SS has grey/black

Has anybody ever tried altering (trimming) a set of rocker moldings to fit the rear quarters....they are relatively inexpensive. Just wondering if it has been done.  Still looking for a nice close up of the rocker and beltline  trim...come on some with an original 66  SD car has got to have a camera and could take a few good pics to help me out here....anyone??

Kevin

Just wondering if you have a link to GM parts catalog available to view these part numbers??  Or is it print only for this old of car?? Just starting out with my Beaumont and have a lot to learn...thanks for your help!!

Kevin 

the only pieces I got with the car were the rear quarter ones so it will just be the belt line ones I need now. Carl, thanx for checking out part numbers.

 Hope these help! 

 Sorry that they are upside down tried to do with IPad  and it didn't work as planned. Not great at submitting photos.

HERE ARE SOME CLOSE UP PICTURES I FOUND FROM A POST ON HERE BEFORE OF THE 66 BEAU REAR EXTENSIONS SOME ONE POSTED

I HAVE A SET OF ORIGINAL 66 MALIBU ROCKERS OUTSIDE SOMEWHERE AND WILL HAVE TO LOOK IF THEY ARE THE SAME OR NOT AS I DON'T REMEMBER THEM HAVING THAT GROOVE???

MY CAR HAS THE 66 SS ROCKERS WHICH HAVE 8 RIBS ALSO 67 ROCKERS HAD ONLY 6 RIBS BUT SOME 67 CHEVELLES CAME WITH BELT TRIM ALSO BUT I THINK IT IS A LOT WIDER AND DIFFERENT PROFILE!!

WAS LOOKING INTO MAYBE THE 64' SS TRIM ON THE TOP OF THE FENDER AND WONDER IF IT IS THE SAME PROFILE AS A 66 BEAU AND COULD JUST BE CUT DOWN FOR THE QUARTER AND FENDER PIECES IF IT IS???

WOULD NEED A CROSS SECTION VIEW OF THE MOLDING TO TELL THOUGH!!

I WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ROCKERS AT LEAST,

DALE

right side up...

I only have the rear trim on my 66 SD....no idea where the rockers went, I bet the previous owner had them put away.....as it was in the process of being restores...

Hey Geoff 

Thanks for flipping those pictures! How do you do that ? I don't know why the IPad inserted them upside down.

My 1966 Custom has the same lower rocker trim as has been posted....might broaden the field for those who may be looking...

Yeah!! These are the pics I have been looking for...thanks for taking the time to post.... upside down...right-side up...don't matter. I appreciate the help guys!! 

Is the divot in the trim painted with a flat black??
