I am looking to see if anyone sells the repro of the piece that goes behind the tail panel.....its a thin metal piece that is actually an extension of the trunk pan.....it exists inbetween the tailpanel and the trunk floor to tailpan braces (or the braces that are welded to the trunk floor and you bolt the bumper to these braces.) Ive checked Ricks and Classic Ind but neither selss the piece. I believe if you buy Classics' Full trunk pan repro then this piece is built in.

If I am thinking of the right part, Rick's sells it #PP-78 its in the sheetmetal section,its called a tailpan brace.

Its actually the thin piece that goes between those braces (PP-78s) and the tail panel. The thin piece extends the width of the trunk floor (its attached to the trunk floor and sticks up from it) and has holes in it for the bumper bolts. I should really get a picture since its hard to describe and I havent seen it available in the catalogs.

If you look at the picture in the link above (the trunk floor welded view)...... I am talking about the piece that sticks up from the back of the trunk pan and is welded to the tail panel. I am wondering if one can buy that entire piece seperately and just weld it to the trunk floor?

 

[Hogdaddy]

I have seen em in but don't remember where I saw em probably Rick's. There is 2 of them and they are welded to floor. I have set but there not for sale.

Ricks has what I thought you meant there called rear tailpan and brace in the sheetmetal section.

I'll work on getting a better picture so its more clear what i am trying to describe.

Ok here is a good picture in the following link. Its the piece in the picture with the text written on it. The text says..."This is the piece. The tail panel spot welds to it. Mine is full of holes and rusty"...... The piece has the holes for the bumper bolts in it.

The full trunk pans include that piece(all others do not have this section) plus you will need the two pieces I spoke of earlier (also included with full pan) also because they are the actual bumper supports that are welded to floor behind each pair of holes.

 

[esahlin]

Yes....I have a pair of new braces to weld to the floor of the trunk and I just installed one of the semi full trunk pans (not the full that includes everything) and I am also replacing the tail panel. When I removed the tail panel, the thin piece I have been talking about in the picture ended up with alot of holes from drilling the tail panel spot welds. I thought it would be nice to just get a new piece (piece from picture). But if they are not readily available I will just make do with what I have. Thx.

hope this helps found them i think in classics catalog part number c139r and c139L thats for a 67-68 the 69s are c239r and c239L

 

[loneman]

If you are still looking look in Classic Industries catalog,in my book its pg. 528 the part number is C7624. Is that what you were looking for?

 

[esahlin]

Its not the valence panel......its a tough one to describe because its actually an extension of the full trunk pan....so its not a seperate piece in of itself.
