Can someone explain wheel opening molding part numbers for the 1967 and 1968 Camaro and Firebird? I understand there were different lengths depending on rocker trim, but I need part number vs applications.

67 wheel well moldings
9785880 Left front wheel molding
9785881 Right front wheel molding
4229493 Right rear wheel molding
4229494 Left rear wheel molding
can be used on 68 trim if a RS car.....

Here's the numbers I have found, I've got a complete 68 RS set sitting in the garage, took me 6 months to track them all down, the 7995064 molding is rarer then Hen's teeth, I just can't make up my mind whether to put them on or not, since I'm considering selling the car now anyway......:sad:

Part#:
7995064 = LH rear wheelhouse moulding - 1968
7995063 = RH rear wheelhouse moulding - 1968
9785880 = RH front wheelhouse moulding - 1967~68*
9785881 = LH front wheelhouse moulding - 1967~68*
4229493 = RH rear wheelhouse moulding - 1967
* = part number is the same for both years, they can be used on all 1967 with RS or with RPO-Z21 Exterior Style Trim Option and on 1968 with RPO-Z21 Style Trim - they will require trimming of bottom section to match up with original mouldings if used on a 1968 with RS trim.

1968 rear wheelhouse mouldings are shorter than 1967.

The #4229493 is a 1967 only rear wheelhouse moulding and would require trimming to fit a 1968.

I don't know about Firebirds, but using the info from KZ's post and this list should help you:

1967
4229493 Right Rear
4229494 Left Rear
9785881 Right Front
9785880 Left Front

1968
7795063 Right Rear
7795064 Left Rear
9785881 Right Front
9785880 Left Front

1969
8700967 Right Rear
8700969 Left Rear
3953636 Right Front
3953635 Left Front

The original '68 firebird rear molding has a crimp 4" from the front edge that helps it follow the quarter panel. The 7795063/4 moldings I have seem to be to be too short. I guess the rocker molding is different between the 68 bird and the 68 Camaro. The Firebird rocker trim is 4" tall and runs the length of the rocker. I thought the RS rocker trim was shorter, but I never paid much attention.

Is the 67 molding number 4229493/4 crimped 4" from the front edge and longer than the other years? Is that the correct part for '68 Firebird?

Here's a photo of the area I'm questioning.

Thanks for all the help; hopefully I can get this sorted out.

I can't speak for the Firebirds, but as for the Camaros, the difference in length (a foot?) on the 063/064 moldings are due to the wide RS moldings that go along the bottom side of the 68 RS car, if you try to use a non RS molding 4229493 or 4229494, you will have interference issues. These other moldings (493/494) can be "trimmed" to work on a car with the RS moldings, but obviously, you can't "add" length to the 063/064 moldings to fit on a 67 or 68 Non-RS car........KZ

It looks like what I need are 4229493, 4229494. Anyone have a set they would like to part with?
