First big project is done

Although this car is in great shape, the vinyl panels in the back had curled severely and several were ripped. Although not original, I replaced with a carpet material…I’m very happy!

Spare well body plug

Does anyone know the actual dimensions on the body plug hole in the bottom of the spare well on my 66 Monaco wagon? I think I’ve found the part number 2603887, but it doesn’t say the dimension. I measure the hold at 2 1/4″, but it’s a bit warped as it is a little bent from road debris hitting it. It also seemed to be rubber and not plastic? Mine was trash and already was thrown out.

Floor Well Lock questions

I want to add the lock to the latch for the floor well. I can find 2765005 lock cylinder w/ keys pretty easily, but it looks like I also need the screw/washer 6026336 which I am not finding so easily. Does anyone know if I can find something at my lo…

Trailer Tow Pkg and Cleaner Air Pkg

I’m trying to find out some information on wheat each of these packages included for a 1966 Monaco Wagon.

I know that the Cleaner Air was a CA thing for emissions, and wonder if all the parts on my car are still there (or if there is an advantage to removing anything).

Trailer tow is eluding me a bit.

Is there a resource for the info?

Thanks!

Headlight switch

I have figured out that 1) my night dash lights aren’t working (light over the ignition comes on), and 2) the dome light will not come on with the headlight switch, and 3) I’m getting some irregular headlight flickering/pulsing (previous owner replaced headlight with halogen).

I figure my first course of action is to replace the headlight switch. Agree?

I’m finding lots of different suppliers and parts numbers from the local stores and rock auto, etc.

Anyone have a recommendation? Part…

Jack, lug wrench for 1966 Monaco wagon

I’m not sure what years interchange, but I’m missing everything but the spare tire. If i’m correct, i need the jack, lug wrench, base and jaw hook. I’d be interested in the hold down for the rim as well.

Thanks!
I’m in Lemont IL

66 Monaco Wagon Trim pieces

I need to try and replace some of the chrome trim that surrounds the woodgrain on the passenger side.
Specifically it is both the upper and lower passenger rear quarter (long straight pieces), and the lower passenger rear door.
Does anyone have some part numbers, other compatible years (I don’t think the 65 works?), or some sources? I’m guessing it will be hard to find.
