They seem to have pretty good selection. What part do you need? Let me know and I can look around. tdjr66 1966 malibu ss convertible 350/420hp 3.55/eaton posi Greg P Apr 22nd, 02, 12:50 AM RTFM, I recently installed one from Original Parts Group (1-800-243-8355) in the passenger door of my '66 SS and it works great. OPG has 65-72 reproduction front door latch assemblies for $109.95. They adverstise the 65-67 as being the same. Right = # C980001. Left = # C980002. Greg ------------------ My 68 El Camino (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/greg_pelcamino01.jpg) with 307 and powerglide, and my '66 Chevelle SS (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/greg_pchevelle01.jpg) with 396/360 and M-20. In 1968, when I was 21 and a student at Washington State University, I got my first (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/greg_pchevelle21.jpg) '66 SS. Thirty years later, I got my second (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/greg_pchevelle52.jpg) '66 SS. Note that both Chevelles are in the same location. RTFM Apr 22nd, 02, 10:50 AM it is the latch assembly inside the door ... i appreciate your help - will be trying OPG, NPD says it fits '67, and made it sound like it might not fit a '66. ------------------ '85 el camino 350 TH350 '66 chevelle 402 TH400 283v8 Apr 22nd, 02, 1:28 PM Can't find your e-mail - I've got a 64 Pass side for $20 + shpg (64 is same as 65) [This message has been edited by 283v8 (edited 04-22-2002).] RTFM Apr 22nd, 02, 1:43 PM thanks, but i need a drivers side latch for a '66 chevelle... OPG is backordered and dont know when they'll be in stock. can anyone assure me that '66 and '67 are the same? ------------------ '85 el camino 350 TH350 '66 chevelle 402 TH400 Untamo Apr 23rd, 02, 3:42 AM I've got a 67 latch in my 66, and it works just fine. Only difference being when the door is locked, you can not open it from the inside by simply pulling up on the handle... you have to-unlock it first. ------------------ -Andrew through.theloophole@gte.net | ||
