65-70 Full Size Body Tech Forum

I'm looking for something to dig into right now. The wiper motor from my 65 works, but it certainly needs a spruce up on the grungy case and body, and probably some lubrication. So it'll make a good small project. It has an aftermarket washer pump setup, which I kind of like, so it might not even be origina...

Anyone here have a genuine Canadian Pontiac 1965 AM antenna for sale? One that would have been front fender mounted. There is a cheesy aftermarket antenna in place on my 65, and obviously the hole was drilled, and it was added later as the car came with a radio delete plate. So it's all garbage. I'm not up...

There was a thread with discussion on where to locate emblems on a particular vehicle. Todd has suggested that there be a section in each of the separate forums for particular models, so I will start one in each of those sections. If you are able to assist with specs on body emblem placement for the model...

Has anyone installed the 1966 impala gas tank in a full size Pontiac WITHOUT changing the NECK. I realize there is a bit of a curve in the Pontiac thats not in the Chevy.

Trying to find a wire with a light bulb socket - no luck, only see the whole housing assembly with chrome, wire etc. do I need to purchase the whole housing there is any way to get j...

Years ago I installed power locks from a later model (70's - 80's) GM on the black 66 Grande Parisienne that Tom from Edmonton now has. I plan to do that again on the 66 I have now, so recently it was testing time just to make sure it all works. When I bought this car from Ken he included the matching switches f...

Hey there, I found a nice set of trims including wheels well pieces, unfortunately with no those nice wide stainless steel panels, only thin trims and wheels well trims. For wheel well it seems I have most of holes, not a big issue to drill a couple more (except the very rear wheel well piece, it doesn't s...

Has anyone ran into this issue before? I have changed all my dash bulbs that plug into the panel behind the dash except the fuel gauge has a seperate pod for the bulb for the fuel gauge. It wont stay in as the plastic is worn out and looks like it has 3 wires and uses a 194 bulb as well. I may restort to silicone b...

Hi guys, I'm in Melbourne, Australia I have several tail panels for a '65 Parisienne. Also a set of tail lights inc lenses. The tail panels are not perfect but not bad at all. I'd rate them as a 85 out of a 100 and the other about 70 out of a 100. The tail lights are quite good. How about A$350 for everything? So...

I'm thinking the majority of you won't know what it is, or even if you guess right, you've likely never seen it on a 65 or 66.

Has anyone dealt with Pontiacbbodyshop out of Ohio for rust panels. I've been leaving messages but getting no replys back.

This information will likely be useful/interesting to about 3-4 people out of the whole group here but I thought I'd post it anyway because I know there's 2 66 Grande Parisiennes owned by two different Kevins who will want to see it! One of the Kevins owns my old 427/4 speed 66 Grande Parisienne. 40 year...

Hi guys, There is this old salvage yard near London, Ontario that I have driven by many times. Lately, I've seen that some of the old cars are being dragged up to the front, near the road and have been for sale for parts. So, I called and asked to tour the yard for 60's Pontiacs. There were lots of old cars, bu...

Hey there, i'm cleaning the roof here. Removed the rear window I can't see any manufacturer designed drain holes around the window, only the holes made by rust:) Is that normal or water should go down somehow to avoid accumulating moisture in cavities?

Has anyone found a product that we can buy which duplicates that nasty thick bumpy tough undercoating that came on our mid 60's cars on the underside of the floor and the rear wheel wells?

Has anyone installed any kind of electric power trunk release in a 66 full size? Originally they were vacuum but those are next to impossible to find (or not affordable when they are for sale) so I'd like to see if I can find an electric option.
