Hi! I couldn't find these (c.) on your website? Can you help? Thanks! Gerry

Thanks for the quick reply! I googled some images and see what you mean - look twice and it is quite a difference in that corner. I reckon I'll have to go for the 4 door seals and know I'll have to modify them as necessary:(

Morning! Just getting to ready to paint the rust repairs on my 1966 Belvedere Wagon, but the door rubbers (on the doors themselves) are really bad. Are the rear doors on a sedan the same as on a wagon? RockAuto don't list a wagon separately - I'm looking at their Metro rubbers and RockAuto are...

I can only dream of a tailgate like that! :thumbsup:

Thanks Jim, Your photos were awesome. Fitted, tested and adjusted it numerous times - they're heavy things! I don't suppose you have a photo of the interior trim on the tailgate, Jim? I had a piece of aluminum rivetted over the inside, and I'd prefer it looked a little bit more original...

This has been a labour of love! These tailgates really know how to rust:( First coat of primer filler to see how the bottom edge looks - lots of correction to do, but slowly getting there.

As Lucky Costa of Hot Rod Garage fame says: 'Using CAD to help - Cardboard Aided Design:thumbsup:'

Work in progress! Thanks again,Jim 68Cuda, your measurements have been a life saver! It is in really bad shape, but slowly getting there with limited tools!

Thanks Jim! You're an absolute Star:thumbsup:

Hi Jim, When ever you get a chance, could you let me know the measurements in the photos below? And a couple more photos of the corners. You don't realise how useful these photos have been! Thanks again, Gerry o

If it's the same as mine, undo the torsion bar brackets (be careful, the passenger side will spring out) then the hinges at the pillars and one on the drivers side on the tail gate and the whole lot pulls out above the bumper.''

Wow! Those photos are excellent. Thanks :) I doubt there is another decent Belvedere tailgate out there (!) and I'm in the UK, so a double-whammy. My wagon isn't ever going to be a concours winner, so I'll fabricate well enough for a decent repair. Your photos will be a real help:thumbsup:

After my electric rear tailgate motor finally packed in, I had to strip the whole lot so decided to investigate the bad body repairs at the bottom. The attached is the horror I found! A LOT of Bondo, and no metal..... Has anyone tried this repair, or got any pictures of a removed tailgate that...

:) That will be a first! Very tired Poly taken out - not sure it ever even chirped the tyres!

Not sure of this will be of use to anyone, but finally solved the problem. Moral of the story is check and check again! Turns out I had done everything right, but the aftermarket harmonic balancer the engine builder had given me was the wrong one A lot of research found that Pro Sport have...
