I currently restoring a 69 gtx and need some info. I am putting on the trim on the outside of the car and when I got to the trim on the top of the doors I realized there are no holes to mount it. Does anyone have a door or car that they could get me some measurements. Thanks for any help.

There are no holes there because there should be no trim there

Must have changed the doors?

I know that a 1969 gtx convertible has that trim and I do have door w/the hole may be able to get a look at it this week end

This car was in boxes when bought. The doors could have been changed at some point. I have only seen one other gtx with this chrome. Here is a pic of the car with the trim on it.

It is an option on hardtops.

Option available on Plymouth B-body post cars too

I would imagine a 69 satellite is the same as the GTX.
I will look and see if my doors have them on it since I have
gutted the doors for parts.
I will check back tomorrow and see if someone posted some photos
and if not I will get some.

Yes I agree, I should have said cars with metal tops. aka hard tops.
68-70 Satellite, Sport Satellite, Road Runner, and GTX all the same. Door trim pieces the same as convertibles. Quarter panel trim is unique to each roof type, 21 23 27. Dodge Coronet quarter panel pieces are different than Plymouth, Coronet door pieces the same as Plymouth. 68-70 Dodge Charger trim is unique in itself and will not interchange with the other B-bodies.

I have never seen this on a 69 GTX, this would be a rare option. what is this option called and what is the code for it ? does it appear on the fender tag or just the build sheet ?

A satellite would not be the same as a GTX, but maybe a sport satellite.

its called a belt molding
not sure of the code.. m31 i think?
someone will correct me if i'm wrong..

Thanks for the replies. Any pictures or measurements would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know the code for this also so I can look on the build sheet and see if it is there. Like I said this car was in boxes when we got it. All the chrome was wrapped in newspaper and marked. So we assumed this chrome was on the car at one time.

Yes, it's M31 ~1489 US spec. GTX hardtops

It's called "belt line molding" Not that rare of an option on a GTX.

It is on the build sheet M31 Belt mouldings. 1970 RR, Lynch Road, so it is not on the fender tag. Unsure if it is on fender tag of LA and St Louis cars.

A14 Road Runner Spring Special package A: Vinyl roof, chrome styled road wheels, belt mouldings, performance hood paint, sport stripes, sure-grip differential, Fiberglass belted RWL tires F70-14

Honestly, it depends on how "concours" you want to be with your restoration. I ran into this exact issue when I modified a '68 hardtop door to put on my '70 convt. (all verts have this molding). The clips behind the trim can slide left/right within the trim, so you just need one clip on each end of the trim piece and a few more in the middle. I did mine by measuring the other side and copying it.

FYI, see if you have the correct trim pieces. The belt molding on a coupe is different than the one for a convertible/hardtop. It has a notchout on the end that meets the quarter panel similar to the notch where it meets the vent window frame. The trim piece for hardtop/convertibles is only notched at the end where it meets the vent wing.

Here is a pic of the trim. It has a notch on one end for the vent.

Is the inside door lock in the wrong place for a 69?
