I am sorry if this question has been asked before, but i did a search and didn't come up with anything.

The two sheet metal body mount towers located beside the rear fenderwells are severely rotted out. Surprisingly, the actual floor is absolutely fine, just the two towers themselves are wasted. Are reproductions available? or am i looking at doing some hand fabrication?

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT (OOPS) under the fire wall? you could cut them off a donor car?

Oops here as well, i guess i should say that they are for a '64 Beaumont (Chevelle) as well, and they are the sheet metal body mount towers next to the rear wheelwells under the front of the trunk floor...

Are these available at all for any year chevelle? There are no donor cars at all in my area...

This is the last item before we mount the body back on the frame! I'm getting excited!

Repro's are not avaible for that. You will need to cut them off a donor car and weld them on yours. You might even try looking for a Buick, Olds or Pontiac, 64-67 as those frames are all the same so the tower would be the same also...Eric

That sounds like what you need, generally they come with the trunk floor kit, but if you don't need all of it, it would be a waste of money.
