Ok I purchased a pair of trunk drop offs that were said to be for a 67 b body. Now the reality is that they are not even close. My question is who makes drop offs that actually fit the 66-67 b body's? I am fairly certain the ones I have are shermans https://www.autobodyspecialt.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=MP-296-RH these are the ones I bought and their terrible.

Those are the ones I used. Had to reshape them to work, but I did it. Not concours, but I didn't mind.

They are kind of a 'universal' pattern...designed to be 'adaptable' to '66/ '67 Dodge & Plymouth. The body guy who installed mine acknowledged that and had no problem patching them in. Maybe a Mopar expert would know, but nobody else can tell.

I really have not choice but to use it unless I make my own. I was just hoping to see pics of one being installed.

You're in for a whole lotta fun with a 67 . . . could not find any "quality" parts and ended up having to make them all myself from scratch . . .

If it doesn't look right . . . cut out the bad and weld in some more metal . . . for any 67 - it's all about fabrication ( make it work ) . . .

Good luck !

Yes it has been very difficult to say the least. But if it was easy like a chevelle anybody could do it. That's why I got a 67 because its not a cookie cutter car like a mustang or a Camaro.

OK

They are called trunk floor extensions. And no, '66-'67 extensions are NOT made by anyone. Fab or fix. Later parts aren't close.

They're made, but need moderate "massaging" to fit. I've done it, and I'm nooooo body guy.

Who is making them? I looked about a year ago and found nothing.

OK

Yeah, those are the same ones a buddy used about a year or so back. They claim that they will fit Belvedere AND Coronet/Charger, but the Coronet/Charger bits are longer and these do not fit worth a crap. They might fit Belvedere/GTX OK, but Charger/Coronet? Wouldn't waste the money. Like I said, fab or fix from scratch and you'd be time and money ahead.
