Working on '66 Valiant, stroker, dual quad on an offy.
Looking for nice bumpers. Found '65 bumpers. Will they fit '66? Also looking for taillight bezels. I believe '65 and '66 are same.

Living in Florida and want A/C. Have some parts, need to finish up with compressor and hoses -going under dash. Who is the best source for online purchases for this sort of thing?
Finally, when I find items I need for sale on this site I don't know how to contact the seller. What is PM? Sure would appreciate some help. I am not especially great with computers but seems like this modern world doesn't give you much choice.
Thanks Folks.

I have a r & l 66 valiant tail light bezels only (no lenses) that need to be refinished. let me know if interested.
 
1966 Valiant is a 1 year deal, bumpers, fenders, hood, taillights ect are all only 1966 Valiant. oh and the rear window gaskets is not available aftermarket. at least not that I have found.
 
Thanks for the help. Now about the way I'm supposed to contact members for 'for sale' items... how is that done?
What's PM?
Oh, and by the way I already have taillight bezels just wanted some that were already rechromed. Same for
bumpers.
Might be able to use the dome housing, have to make sure of what I have.
 
PM is for private message or ie a conversation. Just click the photo for the user you want to pm and a box comes up with a choice to start a conversation.
 
Welcome to FABO.
As mentioned the ‘66 has a lot of one model year only parts but does share some with the Barracuda.
Bumpers & tail light bezels with good chrome is something that anyone with one of these cars would love to find especially with the cost to re-chrome them being rather expensive.
 
many are looking for 65 parts too, maybe you could steer those parts toward us here.
 
Like previous members mentioned...'66 is 1 year only for its trim parts. A few interchange with the
'66 Barracuda. A short list of some of the '66 Barracuda parts that will interchange:
- front & center grills look different but will swap.
- headlight bezels from Barracuda will not fit on Valiant grills but Valiant bezels will fit on Barracuda grills but there will be a small gap on the sides.
- tail light bezels but only the top lens will swap. Valiant has different reverse & lower lenses
- bumpers will swap.
- wheel well mouldings will swap. Valiants were aluminum vs Barracuda stainless steel
also Barracuda has a notch cut out to accommodate the rocker panels but will not affect fitment on Valiant.
- interior plastic A pillar trim
- interior A/C Defrost & Heater dash bezel swaps and I do have one for sale if you need it.
- steering wheel, gas cap, door handles, hood latch, PLYMOUTH hood lettering emblems
......and that's all I recall right now.
Good Luck with the resto mod!
