Need '66 442 trunk drop off panel (s)

I'm in the process of replacing the trunk floor and after pulling out the old floor I found some poor body work replacing the right rear quarter panel. The
trunk floor to the quarter is rusted badly and can't even be used for a pattern to make a new one.
All the parts houses start with the '68 and newer for those panels and I've checked about a dozen, has anyone run across them?
I would prefer to get a new replacement panel but if anyone has a real decent used panel, I would be interested in that also. Bill

I was told that the dropoffs from a 66 Chevelle (which are available) will fit. Anyone know if that is true?

Goodmark lists their drop offs for 66-67 Chevelles as also fitting the 66-67 Cutlass. Don't buy them, I did and they do not fit. The pattern is similar but about 3" too short. I haven't been able to find them any where.

I might have them on a parts car. We are having a snow storm right now so it will be a day or two before I can go lay under a car to check them out really good.

That would be great... Thanks to the others for the Chevelle possibility.

Too short in length or height?

Joe,

They were too short in length and the back side did not really match up to the cross section piece; close but no cigar.

I love the 66/67 and wish I still had one.
If it's true that the 66/67 Chevelles also fit and you're looking for other than Goodmark, I found this on a search. Is it what you need?


If it looks like the right part, here's the website I got it from. http://www.parts123.com/0000080d/A74...er-a743500.htm

Not that expensive either if it's right. Good luck, hope you find the part you need.

I have a right corner from the wheel back. I cut the quarter and through the trunk floor. It was intended to fix a car that had lost a rear wheel and trashed the quarter, but the guy ended up repairing what he had. Here it is with a hood leaning on it:

That has the piece I need... Can you flip it over and take a pic of the underside where it attaches to the quarter...

Amazingly it started raining here in So. Nev. just before I got to it, so you can see rain drops in the desert dust of the underneath side. Be aware that I am going to New Mexico tomorrow. You can continue contacting me via PM.
