B-body sill plates

B-body sill plates - 10/06/10 02:41 AM

My originals LOOK 42 years old. How are the repos? From what I can see online they look pretty nice. Are they all about the same as far as fit and appearance? They're inexpensive enough that I don't mind getting a new set, I just hate to buy something that doesn't fit. THANKS!

they look good
fitment could be a tad better as i recall a couple of the holes need to be elongated, but you cant tell once the screws are installed

The ones I've seen for 68-70 B body cars are shiny and polished looking compared to the matte finish of the originals. Are there any available that have the correct finish?

We finished the 68-70 bbody sills this summer in the correct satin finish.

I need a set too. Tony who's are these atleast they look right. Shame that they couldn't figure out the hole placement though....

Mike,

Are they the correct gauge metal (unlike the common reproductions available +/- 10 years ago)? Those neither fit well nor would they draw up tight without making you wonder if the screws were going to pull completely through the sill plate

Hopefully you took care of all that as usual...

Yes they are Gene and I've installed them on several local customer cars.

I don't see '66 Coronet sill plates listed on your site. Do you offer them, or are they planned? Thanks.

Yes, those are done Roger. I'm a little tardy getting the website updated with all the new parts.
