This one is said to be from a 66 Dart. What other years/models of A bodies does this fit?

Searching the internet, looks like the large light is 65 Dart and Valiant.

I found this list for the bullet style;
"64-67 CUDA. 66-67 CHARGER & CORONET. 68-70 ROAD RUNNER, GTX, SATELLITE & BELVEDERE. 71-74 CHARGER, GTX & ROAD RUNNER. 77-78 DODGE TRUCK LIL RED EXPRESS"

I'm sort of surprised the 67 Cuda would take a different lens than the 68-69's that take the common rectangular bubble type. They have the same rear bumper all years and that's what the light bolts too. Check that.

I have a real good feeling that listing should be 64-66 Cuda at least.

From info I've found, the black rectagular "Challennger" license plate light lense/gasket DOES fit 67-69 Barracuda's. I have them in my all my early Barracuda kits and no one has complained yet

I REALLY need to know what license plate light gaskets were used on 63-67 Darts, Barracuda's and Valiants.

You mean what gaskets used on 63-66 Darts, Barracuda's and Valiants.

The 67 Dart Valiant and Barracuda used the same rectangular lens like the 71 Challenger. 67 is when all the a-bodies changed body styles

Hey Jim,

Do you need one as a template or do you want a photo? Either way, let me know and I'll get you what you need from my 65 Barracuda.

SO possibly 63-66 ARE all the same. Most of the pictures of license plate lights I see say 63-65. Why would 66 be diif?

James, Neither of those lights are right for a 67 Barracuda although the rectangular one is close. The lightbulb comes in from the side at an angle on mine. Probably the same gasket will work.

Does your 67 have an oval bubble to it with silver painted inside to relfect toward the plate. Light comes in from the side. That what's on my 68 also.

I borrowed a picture off Ebay (just for discussion). This is the license plate light lense (and black gasket) used on;
67-69 Barracuda
70-74 Challenger
65-67 Fury (not Sport Fury), Satellite and GTX
68-70 Charger and Cornet
