Anybody know where to get trunk pans, rear floor pans, trunk molding chanel, rear deck, & rear window chanel repair/replacement parts for a 1965 Custom 500 4 door? The car I just picked up has had a rear window leak for ??? years which is starting to rot away these parts. Instead of using body fillers I would like to weld in some solid pieces before it gets too bad to fix. I beleive the same parts from almost any 65/66 Galaxie will work. I'm not sure about any other years or body styles.

that is a link to a good parts dealer...they deal with most vehicles from 1946 through early 1990's they helped me get a complete frame for cheap.

yeah, out west is probably only place for these...I was looking for some floor pieces for mine and no repops were available(as of few years ago) so I just made some up and cut out just parts of floor needed. be careful around that rear window- mines a 4 dr hdtp(small glass) had one helluva time finding replacement glass. seems most of the 4 doors especially went to the shredders before the far more desirable 2 doors...
Thanks, I e-mailed Desert Dogs and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I already removed the rear window in one piece and was able to save the rubber molding too. Looks like I'll probably have to make my own channels and weld them in. I was hoping to find a donor car to get part off of instead. The rust isn't real bad yet but I didn't want a lot of body filler around the window which would most likely cause it to leak again.
