The TKX utilies a newly designed case which gives a more rounded appearance compared to the older blocky case used in the TKO family. I believe they made a couple internal improvements but the biggest difference is the case... the more rounded case was designed to make it fit a bit easier...
1964 Polara would have the full horn ring - the 330 and 440 models got the partial ring per the factory information

I was in the same boat with my 64 - ended up scoring a complete 8.75 (housing, axles, drum brakes, empty 742 case) out of a 1970 Charger for $200 -- I already had a 3.91SG pumpkin so I plan on just swapping the entire assembly in when my body comes back from paint shop.
Also to answer your...
Hello guys - looking to start collecting some parts to keep moving forward on my 64 Polara. I am in the market for a fiberglass hood but can't seem to find a reasonable one anywhere.
Anyone know of a source? Also may be in the market for bumpers and fenders
Whats up So Cal neighbor - easier to swap the whole pedal assembly... It's unlikely you'll find just a clutch pedal anyway... I've only ever found the complete assemblies here and there. I believe 1963-1965 B-Body will all work for your 1965. I am swapping my 64 Polara to a 4-speed myself.
I know a lot of this is subjective to the area I live in (SoCal) but is there any value to the things I will be removing from my '64 Polara - namely the following
- Tapered Axle 8 3/4 -- I know they have gone way of the Do-do bird and most people prefer the later and easier to work on style but...
I reached out to an old guy I used years ago for interior stuff and he stated exactly that... he said don't worry about it - just get the covers and he will build and shape the foam without any issues.
So maybe I am just lacking on the whole research topic but looking through all the parts suppliers for these cars - I don't see anyone selling the foam for the rear seat of the 64 polara -- am i missing it somewhere?
Also - anyone know where to get the small oral trim piece for the front door...
They don't have an EFI ready tank for the early B-bodies... I am running their tank in my 68 Charger and it is great - wish they would make the early B-body tanks
So I don't have my 64 Polara in front of me but am looking at starting to buy some parts - looking at all the weatherstripping - I am used to my 68 Charger...
So I assume is that I need the following
- Windshield Gasket
- Rear Window Gasket
- Trunk gasket
- Door "roof" seals
- Door...
What are you guys running for replacement leafs on your 1964? Looking at the factory specs and they are 21" front and 35" rear... Later B body is 22/36 and A bodies are 20/35... so do you guys get replacement 1964 leafs or just run extended front hangers and run A body leafs?
For comparison I got a 1968 440 block complete pan to intake and was never apart -- scored it for $800 which was about market 2 years ago. The 440 blocks are about $300 to me as unless you can get them magged and checked they are somewhat of a gamble. the 413 blocks are probably about $100-$150...
The Polara 500 package was a 318 or larger engine and came standard with bucket seats, the "Polara 500" on the front fenders, and wheel covers.
The Polara package came standard with the side trim, three tail lights, hood spear, the decklid trim, and the rear trim around the tail lights

my 64 Polara was originally a lighter shade of blue - agreed - they all seem to be black, white, or red... never been a fan of those colors - too common. I say go with bronze - it's bright and different to get attention.
Or if you have a plasma cutter you can just get some 2x4 stock and make a cardboard pattern of the floor - transfer it to the stock and plasma out - basically the same thing USCT sells for WAY less $$$ -
