Don't know where to get chrome

[67440Dodge]

Hi Richard

It's a Coronet 500, 2 door hard top. I've managed to save a variety of pieces that can be worked with, but as far as the pieces covering the rockers, bumpers, and wheel well trim is too far gone.

The rocker trim is the same for a 67 R/T and they were being re-popped at one time. I believe Metro Parts was the one doing them. I got parts from them last weekend, but I heard they are going out of business.

Wheel trim also fits a 67 R/T, and unfortunately those are not being re-popped at this time. When you do find a set, they are usually made out of unobtanium and priced accordingly.

The 4 piece quarter trim is re-popped and available from many vendors.

The piece that connects the quarters to the C-pillar is repopped and available from many vendors.

Bumpers are not being repopped, but you can usually get yours straightened/re-chromed.

As others have pointed out, the front grille and surrounds are not repopped, and almost impossible to find in good shape without taking a mortgage for them. The hood lip trim has been re-popped, but from what I understand after whatever is in stock is sold, that is it. No more are being reproduced.

One place to check is Mega Parts. They were right next to the booth that Metro Parts had at Carlisle, and they got a bunch of stuff. .

Thanks Mike,l I was working off line today on another project and didn't see this question.

As difficult as it is to find good used or reproduction parts for the exterior of your 1966 Coronet, reproduction interior parts are much easier to find. Some of the parts being currently offered include the following.

For 1966 Coronets:

(01) Plastic correct 2 spoke steering wheels in several factory colors including Black, Red, Blue, and Fawn Gold.
(02) Moulded bucket seat foams, as well as correct flat foam for front and rear bench seats.
(03) Seat covers for both front bucket seats and front and rear bench seats in most all factory colors.
(04) Full carpet sets in most all factory colors.
(05) Instrument cluster bezels for both a/c and non a/c equipped models.
(06) Headliners in most all factory colors.
(07) The 1967-1970 one piece plastic floor console bodies are being reproduced in Black only for both automatic and 4 speed equipped models and while they are not correct for the 1966 models, they will fit and work in your '66 if you can't locate a nice 2 piece fiberglass console body that is correct for the '66 models only.
(08) Complete automatic and 4 speed floor console finish plate sets that are correct for the 1966 through 1968 models.
(09) Dash pads in several factory colors.
(10) Complete main dashboard wiring harness.
(11) "C" pillar mounted courtesy lamp bezels and lenses that were used on all 1966 Coronet 500 models and on some Coronet 440 trim level cars.
(12) Floor console mounted courtesy lamp bezels and lenses.
(13) Floor console mounted automatic transmission shifter assemblies.
(14) Floor console body to floor pan mounting brackets for both automatic and 4 speed models.
(15) Shifter boot assemblies for both automatic and 4 speed models with, or without a floor console.
(16) Floor console mounted lighting and reverse back-up lamp wiring harnesses for both automatic and 4 speed models.
(17) Complete floor pan mounted body plug sets.
(18) Glove box doors.
(19) Glove box liners.
(20) Door panels in most all factory colors for both manual and power windows.
(21) Arm rest pads and plastic arm rest bases.
(22) Interior door handles.
(23) Seat belt sets.

And the list goes on.

A few of the interior parts that are not available include the following.

(01) Metal bucket and bench seat frames.
(02) Bucket and bench seat springs.
(03) Metal bucket seat side and back seat panels.
(04) Plastic heater / defroster duct nozzels.
(05) Seat track assemblies for bucket and bench front seats.
(06) 1966 only 2 piece fiberglass floor console bodies.
(07) Headliner bow sets.
(09) Factory power window parts of any kind.


I'm sure that I've forgotten parts from both lists, but I hope this will help you a little bit anyway.

Just found rocker trim, Classic Industries has them.

They also sell the hood moulding, as well as the trunk mouldings. (not the brushed aluminum inserts, but the trim pieces above them.)
