I would like to find a vendor for a pair of new front steel wheel wells for my 66 442. I have found a couple that sell them for a Chevelle, but none yet for Olds. Since many parts from the A-body cars interchange, I am wondering if those Chebby parts will fit in my Olds? (unless someone out there has a set of plastic ones at a similar price.....)
Thanks,
Randy

i was told that they are not the same but i have no idea for myself. i know very little about 66 and 67. i have a very nice driver side wheel well from a 67 if it would be the same as 66? i have $150 plus shipping on it.

Aren't the 66/67 inner liners metal?
As far as interchange - I don't have that handy but one of the biggies will be whether the liner bolt holes match the profile of the fender where they bolt up.

Yes, the stock 66 fender wells are metal. What I meant was that I am only able to find Plastic ones on the market, and of course for several hundred dollars more than steel. I can find metal ones for Chevelles. I would think that they should be the same, just looking for clarification.

i think the plastic ones came in 4 doors and waggons. mine is metal.

Well, I may not have the actual cars to compare so I did what I thought might be the next best thing. I went on the web and looked for engine bay pics. The 2 inner liners do not look the same at all.

Here's the 66 Cutlass engine bay showing liners


And here's the 66/67 Chevelle engine bay

66 and 67 Olds A body is the only interchange for inner fenders, no aftermarket offered.
