havent seen 65 parts for sale in a very long time

65sssd · Poncho Master!

I just uploaded some pictures and demensions to aid in the hunt for this trim. Thanks

They sure look similar to 64 GTO. It's not the same is it?

65sssd · Poncho Master!

Do you have any 64 GTO pics to see if there the same?

65sssd · Poncho Master!

I found a picture of a 64, but it is on the bottom edge of the car. SD chrome is up 3" or 4" from the bottom. It still could be close.

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

I think I have a pair for GTO. I can see if I can find them and measure if you haven't ever seen them.

455gto · Poncho Master!

The GTO is a one peice that runs on the bottom rocker. Looking at yours it looks like a 3 piece? It also is mounted higher than the GTO.

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

I didn't catch that. You are right. The contour looks the same. If so, it would be easy for a stainless worker to make a set out of GTO pieces if the contour matches.

Now I see the difference biggrin

its mounted on lower door, instead of rocker, thats why all the pieces....hmmm

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

A couple of questions---

I thought they are stainless steel but in one picture they look almost like a cast piece?

Do they attach with normal spring type molding clips?

Is there supposed to be a molding behind the back wheel or are they just between the front and rear wheel opening only?

65sssd · Poncho Master!

The three pieces have the same profile as each other, but the rear piece behind the tire is different and is the same as the custom Beaumont trim level. The three pieces are mounted on clips that push into holes in the body. The clips are not part of the trim. Is the 64 GTO trim a solid piece of aluminum or is it molded and thin. Do you have a profile of the GTO trim that you could post and measure? Thanks

I believe the trim is stainless and is curled on the two sides for the clips to go in. Those are metal clips that screw into the rocker and a hole at each end of the trim. Your best place for GTO info is either Ultimate gto.com or go to Performance Years forum. Ultimate has a lot of pic's and you can also ask Sean to post your problem on his user list. I'll post your Question on PY forums and get a measurement on it for you

How similar to these would the '64 Chevelle SS be? Anybody know?

455gto · Poncho Master!

The Chevelle looks like the GTO rocker trim

The profile from the end photo would matter the most. Does anybody have a end photo of both the examples posted here? 64 GTO or 64 Chevelle

looks like 65 beau custom rocker chrome on the white 65, without the rear extentions, SDs sit up the car more

-- Edited by 65beau at 20:32, 2008-12-17

427carl · A Poncho Legend!

so you could get a SD, with reg trim, and a SD with custom trim? So we are looking for Custom trim? right smile

I am looking for the sport deluxe rocker trim only, (Fender, door,behind the door). The piece behind the rear tire is a piece that is common to both custom and SD trim levels. I also need this. Hope this post helps.

65sssd · Poncho Master!

Sorry, I didn't follow the post. The white SD has the wrong lower chrome on it. The sd trim does sit up higher like the car in my avatar. Custom trim levels are the length of the rocker in one piece.

if Im not mistaken, the extention behind the rear wheels is the same as 64 goat.

65sssd · Poncho Master!

Now that I'm not sure of, but it looks longer. If somebody has a GTO one, it should be 24" long.

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

64 Goat does not have trim behind the rear wheels as far as I've ever seen. If it has, it has been added.

I sure hope I have those pieces around still. I will try to look for them this weekend. They are likely out in an old shed where there is no power for lights. A daylight search will be easier.
