One thing kind of interesting I found in replacing this switch on wagon and I used a new OEM stock switch . . .switch has markings for Up and Down. I installed as such and it was reversed. So, I think the UP/DOWN markings must be meant for convertibles. On wagon, install with the UP marking...

Outer FRONT bumper bracket for 65 Valiant. Driver side. Thanks!!

My 65 Valiant wagon has loops to mount, presumably from factory. Looks like yours are missing or were removed. I put picture of driver side rear. See yellow arrows on pic. I think it didn't come w/ rear belts originally (not 100% on this), but just the mounts. Funny, I was just getting...

haven't tried yet.

I have a roof rack (only). It has some rust and needs restored to make great again. No crossbars or rubber that lay across roof. Located in Sarasota, FL for pickup. $200

I have a roof rack off a 65 Valiant wagon to sell. Don't have the cross bars that lay flat on wagon roof.

Thanks @ChrisRomello! Worked! Perhaps my rods weren't too long. I didn't have to cut at the end on my wagon as they came out great w/ just the bending after getting it flipped around. Basically adds maybe 10 mins to the install of rear door exterior handles.

On the modern upgrade, could I screw my original face portion back on for mounting? Thanks!!

Here is picture of window switch for tailgate window that's mounted on left side of dash in my 1965 Valiant Wagon. It's shot and dangling. Please advise on if I can buy one from you guys or send it in for repair? PN for Switch 2496921 Have found on ebay ranging from $200-400 as of 2025...

I just ordered the rear side glass rubber (for wagon) and lock strip from Layson's Restorations. 253-722-1300. They said it comes off roll and have plenty in stock.

Hi there, is there a link to order, or call to order? Thanks!! Brad

I'll take a pair!!

I'm shopping for a pair of those!! And the bumper rubber that goes in rear on side of bumper for 65 wagon. If anyone knows where on earth to find, please share. Thanks!!

On a 65 Valiant - I have a knee knocker AC hanging under radio which I thought was going to make the mission daunting. Went in thru glove box (remove), removed old stereo (not original), disconnected the two vent hoses - not the vents themselves, then the 2 nuts for trim where vent controls...

I'm using 6 into 1, 2 1/2 inch exhaust. The muffler itself currently is some aftermarket stock that was on the car when I got it. It's 2" in and out on the muffler. Question: Which muffler do you recomend at the rear for good flow but no drone and not loud? Want my cake and to eat it too...
