[coronet1965]

Is there a company that makes patch pieces for a 65 Coronet, for the torsion bar cross member mines rotting out kinda bad under the torsion bar. Or does anyone know of a good place to take it to get fixed in southeasten WI

There is AMD (auto metal direct). If nothing is available for your year you might get a repo for a newer B body and work it in to your car assuming the parts are close.

So I looked into it and no one seems to make a 65 crossmember but there are ones for 66's out there. Has anyone patched theres? how difficult was it? heres a picture of the damage on mine its only on the drivers side the rest is in good shape.
thanks

I had the same problem on my 65 belvedere got one from salvage yards out at texas look through mopar magazines.There are salvage yards that will send you the part pretty much rust free.There is a company that makes repair pieces ,www.autorust.com (have full front frame rail if you need that), Easy to replace if replacing floor pans.

FYI....... 62-65 B-body car's are a little wider in width from rocker to rocker than the 66-70 B-body car's. Compare them side by side, and you will see what I'm talking about.

I carry nice originals for 275.00 plus shipping. From Southwesten desert. Driiled out, not cut.
AMD does not make them for the 62-5. 66 and up is alot different.

Auto Rust Technicions http://autorust.com/store/index.php?main_page=index cPath=3&sort=20a&page=12 has them for early and later model "B" bodies. You might want to call them to verify what years their "early "B" body" crossmembers are for, but my guess is '62-'65.

Also the T-bar mounts are longer on the 62-5

Not looking to highjack this thread, but how much for the trunk pan?

 

[moparmarks]

Sorry I'm out of trunk pans right now. Most in this pic is already sold. Just an example of what I do.

I don't need a whole pan, just part of it above the fuel tank. If you come in to one, let me know. Thanks
