Starting to put the interior back into our 66 Impala which I assume is the same as a 66 Pontiac.

When the rear package tray was removed it was just a piece of old carpet, all the OEM stuff was gone, so

there is no reference.

Now I have an insulating pad and a new cardboard package tray from NOS and was wondering about the

fit as the pad is not quite exact as the cardboard tray.

There is a lip at the bottom of the rear window glass that the stainless trim attaches to with 3 screws,

does the pad and the tray both slide under this lip or just the tray - it won't take both without some force and

I don't think it takes both which means the insulating pad will require some trimming.

Anyone here replace the rear package tray on a 66 'B' body Pontiac or Chev?

 

Any help appreciated

Bernie

       I need a new one for my 1966       I will go take a photo (as its 2 piece) and see if I can help    wait right there....   

hi Bernie; the pad may need a minor trim. The pad does not go under the window trim. I believe the pads are generic for a 65-70 B body. Yes Carl the Canadian GP needs the US GP package tray

I got one from NOS. It's very nice. I had to trim it just a tiny bit.

So far I'm not happy with the fit but that is because I am trying to put some insulation under it and the stuff I have is too thick. I need to find some thinner softer stuff. It would fit nice if I had a thinner softer sponge.

         So, I should be hearing that they (NOS) can supply?   great !    

        They seem to be listed (on the net) as with holes for 1 speaker, or no speaker holes at all    

        I think a no speaker will do for me, as the car has no speakers, front or back, and radio makes no sound and the power antenna is permanently down lol

Mine is not vinyl   its a mesh style    hmmm 

Well son of a gun, you learn something from a carl everyday. I did not know there was a difference.

Yes, factory rear speaker has mesh, no rear speaker in the rear deck is a solid cover.

        Mine must have been swapped out in the last 49 years    no rear speaker     am radio, power antenna..    

        Were no some of the car not have the speaker in the grille in the rear seat ??

Hi Bernie

I did the tray on my 66 Parisienne with the cardboard. Your deck looks as if someone did a modification to it in the area were the rear defrost would sit. It should be easy to put in the insulation as long as it only goes up the back towards the window about an inch or so. I have a couple of pics to show what my looks like. It is a two piece, cardboard with a piece of vinyl sown  near the seat and wraps done in behind the  seat.

 very nice    where did you get the sail panel boards and material? 

.......WOW - does that ever look nice.........thanx for the pics and the info,

hope mine comes out like that.........one more thing.....

Is it necessary to remove the sail boards from their position to install the parcel shelf and

does the stainless headliner trim need to be removed to get the sail boards off?

My sail boards are in ok condition but the stainless headliner trim seems to have been

urethaned in and may not come out w/o damage.

Really appreciate your help.

 .......Hey Carl .......I got the solid black tray and the jute pad from Dale and just installed it after following luppy
