I have searched everywhere and cannot find these new. There are plenty of the ones that are ribbed or pebbled texture, but mine are glossy and smooth.

Unless someone shows me the light, I am going to take a shot and making them myself.

Make a pair for me while you're at it! Someone was re-popping the GTX dash woodgrain for
a while, but not sure about now. If you do find them, please post it here! Thanks!

Once I get a pair completed I will post pics.
 
what is the part number on the back of each piece?
 
called a friend with a 68 GTX, he got it restored a few years back, 68 lower dash trim pieces with smooth finish one year only, no reproductions being made at least when he did his car. He said it took the shop over 1 year to find NOS pieces (a lot of $$$), there like hen's teeth he said, Good luck!!!

Thanks, my set are not horrible and even though one of the pieces is broken, it's there. I am going to use some engineering and see what I can do. The pisser is that they make the sets for Dodge cars of the same year, but the shape (chrome edges) are not the same and of course neither is the black surface area. I have a friend who does injection plastic. If I can make a set of molds I might be able to get a few sets made.
 
Then there's the vapor chrome plating. Good luck. We're rootin for ya!
 
Been searching for a pair of these for years! Would definitely be interested in a pair if you manage to sort them
 
I know this thread is old but wanted to see if you had any success?
My '68 GTX has one side but it's in rough shape.
 
I bought a pair of the ribbed ones and will put those on for now until I have time to rebuild mine
or someone comes up with something better. Screw it!
 
I was thinking of doing the same thing, only I will look at modifying them to see if I can smooth them out.

I have to question the "one year only" statement, those pieces are the same as what's on my '69...
 
One of these.....

Would make stuff like that so much easier...
 
I'd be down for a nice repro set. I was lucky enough to track down a driver side with a crack through the screw hole. 69 GTX, November 68 build date.

A detail that this photo shows that wasn't apparent in the other photos, the ribs are visible through the transparent outer layer...
 
Yeah, they are smoothe on top and ribbed on the underside. Painted from the backside too. That vacuum chome has me stumped. Can't do that myself.

When comparing pictures, the ribbed ones seem to have chrome edges that are a bit more narrow.
