will the hood and decklid from a 65 valiant fit on a 64 valiant?
wow you know a lot about theseThere is so much wrong info in the list above I almost don't know where to begin! I guess I'll start at the top and work my way down.....
The '65 904 trans will fit a push button '63-4 trans if you swap valve bodies.
The manual transmissions are '63-5 and '66 by itself (later will work to but we're just talking '63-6 models in this rant.....)
Not all slant 6 engine parts are the same and/or interchange
'63-6 all had 9" brakes. starting in '65 they had a 10" brake option and disc brake option.
'64-5 Barracuda and '65 Valiant used the same fender.
'66 Valiant and Barracuda don't have front valances....only a grille/bumper filler.
'64-5 Valiant and Barracuda use the same hood but '64 Valiant is by itself.
'63 Doors are unique due to their latches. '64-5 interchange. '66 has different door locks and hinges
'63-4 trunk lids are different than the '65-6 lids
'66 Valiants and Barracudas don't have rear valances.
'63 Valiant front bumper is unique. '64-5 Val/Cuda same, '66 by itself.
'63-5 rears interchange, '66 by itself.
Back glass is '63-5 on Valiants with '66 by itself
Some chrome trim interchanges with other years but it will depend on the exact one.
Dash pads on some Dart models have a different appearence.
Hey most everything else is correct!
Resurrecting an old thread because I couldn't find the answer anywhere else...
What is the interchange for quarter panels between Barracudas and Valiants? Can I put a 63 or 64 Valiant quarter panel on a 65 Barracuda? Looks like the taillight opening might be different. Any other differences? Will a 65 Valiant quarter panel fit a 65 Barracuda?
Why do you have to change the valve bodies i'm puttin a 65 model in my 63 and everything from the 63 everything looks the same and the cables hooked right upwow you know a lot about these
I went through a lot with a cable shift in my 65 GT.... I don't think there should be any difference until 1966. 65 was last year for cable shift, no pushbutton that year.Why do you have to change the valve bodies i'm puttin a 65 model in my 63 and everything from the 63 everything looks the same and the cables hooked right up
yea i'm goin to stay with the ball and trunnion with mine rebuilt on both end got a kit that had everything front and back joints,I even sanded it and buffed it look like it chrome put clear on it show it will stay awhile.....LOLI went through a lot with a cable shift in my 65 GT....

The GT has a little console stick shift.
I THINK the National Traffic Highway Safety Association and others had decided to mandate the P-R-N-D-D2-D1 shift standard as enough accidents had occurred as a result of unintended gear selection.
65 was last flat plate output intended for ball and trunion drive shaft.
Others?
Doesn't Legendary have upholstery kits for that seat?View attachment 1715009782 anyone know where i can find a seat or cover for 1966 valiant
no tried there firstDoesn't Legendary have upholstery kits for that seat?
Looks like a fairly simple pattern. A good upholstery shop should be able to come pretty close.no tried there first
Use the 63 valve body, or swap out the "manual" valve, and "comb". The 65 valve body has 6 detents, where the 63 valve body has 5 detentsWhy do you have to change the valve bodies i'm puttin a 65 model in my 63 and everything from the 63 everything looks the same and the cables hooked right up
