68 SD trim tag and pics ( a friends )
Permalink  

funny story , the SD I have , I bought from this owner of this one,  we became good friends , and now he found and bought another one,,, I told him I'd trade him back , I like the color of his better !! LOL 


NOW we have a question , what can a person use for the SD trim??  I had heard , read that 67 Impala SS was real close?? ( most likely got that from this site)

any insight??

how do you translate the tag to know it's a L35 car? or is that a given with a SD? IF it was a L34 ? would it be stamped??

just curious??

the tag says YY and the D99 is for roof to 1/4 mouldings, so the car would have been a solid Butternut, but still had the mouldings to break up the paint? is that corect? vinyl roof was added later?

All 68 SDs came with a 396. They were either 325 or 350 hp engines. The 738 tells that it is a SD.

I think it's 65 Impalas, John Nelson will know.

I thought there was a guy reproducing 68 SD trim now?

I don't think he has reproduced the 68 SD trim yet. I believe he needs a set for the patterns.

I sent my 68 SD trim to a friend out in Ontario to have DT stainless reproduce it-haven't got a price quote yet-but I am pretty sure it will be a healthy one.But what are you supposed to do-because when you weld aluminum it will be a different color than the rest of the aluminum,so when it gets anodized or OEM brite coated it will stick out like a sore thumb.66 Caprice side body mouldings are the same contour as 68sd side trim.My original trim is pretty beat up so I am going to try and get a stainless set priced out-hopefully it isn't too crazy priced-although there are 16 pieces that need to be made-OUCH!

He doesn't have the full set either. I'm missing all for mine, and the studs had been ground off already when I got it in 88 . I will ask him next time I see him.
