Does anyone make a replacement dutchman panl for 71-74's?

[randy73]

Was going to patch mine, but the more I sand the worse it gets, so I would like to replace mine, but AMD and Goodmark do not seem to make replacement panels.

Found this at AMD, but says Plymouth and does not look exactly like mine, looks like this is for the hard top and not ones with vinyl roofs.

AMD 650-1471  http://www.autometaldirect.com/amd-deck-filler-panel-71-74-plymouth-b-body-p-1037.html

It will fit but needs some mods on drip channel area, where plymouths get some indents what meet with trunk lid hinges braket, and Chargers doesn't have that. To fit on charger will need to be flattened

BTDT.

Don't have the pics now to show the differences between Charger and Plymouth panel, but aside the mentioned, will fit perfectly. Somwhow easy mod.

Panels don't have to do anything being the car vinyl or not, just the rivets what needs to be added or not

If you're going to get a Plymouth panel (seeing how they're the same other than the indentations) I have a rust free dutchman panel from a 1973 Plymouth Satellite 2 door (still on car). I'll cut that AMD price ($199.99) in half + shipping cost.

Mine (pic below) has the full vinyl top trim that runs through the dutchman panel. These are rivets, not holes to secure the trim clips. Simply grind the rivets off.

I can get more epics if needed. If you're in a hurry for the panel then I wouldn't be able to deliver right away. As mentioned above it's still on the car. I would have to remove the rear windshield before cutting/drilling out the panel.

Thanks Nacho and Vegas Charger, don't be surprised if you here from me.

Note again: Those indentions needs to be flatttened getting the one from VegasCharger or the AMD piece to be able to fit on the Charger. BTDT

Hinges brackets attaches there and FOR WHATEVER REASON I still don't know, this a difference between Charger and Satellite. So without flatten up those indentions, the panel will "fit" higher on a Charger

Thanks again, going to try and save the panel and if not I will get Vegas's panel.

My experience when trying to install 73 Dutchmen from a Satellite to Charger is the Plymouth is a little narrower between the quarters and a little shorter from the package shelf to the trunk lid. Not saying you can't make it work, could have been the manufacturing was off, so just we went and found one from a Charger instead for better fitment. My I don't think the 2 indentions make much difference in fitment. Sorry no pictures where taken.

I did fit my AMD panel without problem, except for the indents that as I explained needed to be flattened. It is already installed on my car which is on a full body job. (I'll try to search the pic )

about wide/narrow panel... as a reference rear glass is the same to Satties than Chargers, so width is the same. I can search package tray too and some other related parts just in case

3445827 for the clear and 8 for the tinted on both

ok some pics of my process

my dutchman panel was already patched way long time ago and rusted again... so decided to remove to change it

[Nacho-RT74]

AMD test fitment... the indents meets with hinges bracket so is like a step for it, hence the reason for the position angle from the side view

[Nacho-RT74]

and well, some pics of the full job, including trunk gutters which were replaced at the same time. Note the indents mods.

Sorry don't have close ups of the indents mod

the quarter extension back panel were made locally... still need tome shappping to fit the plastic cap

[Nacho-RT74]

one more view with clearer indent mod... same to both sides

[randy73]

Sweet, thanks Nacho!
