Did you call them? I know he made the, I have a few pairs for some of my cars as they are somewhat similar to the ones on 67s. I'd call him because he just might have a set lying around.

I called and got an answering machine. I left him a message hopefully I get a call back. Thanks!

I can't find these anywhere 6 different places say they are out of production. They look similar to the 68 superbee lettering on the tail panel. Does anyone else see that?

Firestone was the only one I knew that reproduced them. But since the Mopar/Lysons debacle, most repro places stopped making things.

Did you at least get through to them?

Yea they finally called me back �� 3 days later just to tell me they don't have it. O well I will continue to look.��

I am looking for a set as well. I am hoping that Layson's will get them in... I am looking for the rear tail panel as well.

Well if Laysons get them please let me know

I'll give you all of the factory part numbers for the "DODGE" letters and their retaining hardware that you need for the rear lower panel on your 1968 R/T and also an n.o.s. parts dealer in Canada that I've done business with several times over the years. Even if they do not have the parts you need in stock when you call them, they have many worldwide sources for n.o.s. parts, so they should be able to find them for you. I will say however, they may not be the cheapest source for n.o.s. parts that you might find, but they are very good folks to deal with and as mentioned, will either have your needed parts in stock, or will find them for you and how much is your time spent looking for parts worth? Please make sure to have the part numbers I gave you below at your disposal when you call them, as they will appreciate that. Saves time for all involved.

Did you ask them if they could do a search for the letters for you? They receive new additions to their in stock inventory on a regular basis.
