Hi

I have this fore my charger,  never seen it in any other car.

Is it rare or have I not seen enough chargers?  

Thanks

[tan top]

nope not  that rare ....

[Ghoste]

Standard in 66, 67, and 69.  Most 70's too I think?

[b5blue]

Yup my 70 got one too!

[Ghoste]

Did the the real low end base model 70's get them?  (the XH models)

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Your '69 came standard with it.....

[b5blue]

I don't know but being they keep the wire safe I would hope so!

[racecharger]

Thanks for all the fast replies

anyone know if they reproduce this part?

[tan top]

think it is being repoped      but not sure by who

[b5blue]

No idea but it would be a easy part!They come up on EBAY every now and then and get around 50 bucks.

[Ghoste]

The thing with the repro's is that as far as I know, they are only reproducing one of them and in 1969 there were two types used, a shallow one and a deeper one.  Not sure which one is being repopped.  I believe the 66-67 style ones are also being repro'd now.

[Ghoste]

The place repopping the 69-70 style is;

Really? They're repoping them? I was always told they weren't so I held onto mine closely.

IF you do go with that company, be very careful as there were two different versions of the cover and tail light housing.  There was a narrow version which Chris' orange charger shows and then there is a deeper version which my car has.  RMC ONLY REPRO'S THE NARROW VERSION!!!!!  When I returned it since it didn't fit, they tried to give me a hard time especially when the guy outright told me when I was returning it that there were two versions yet never told me this when I placed the original order.

[Ghoste]

Out of curiousity Brian, did they mention if they were going to one day do both versions?

[resq302]

No the said they were only doing the narrow type version.  From what I have seen, the narrow type version is the more common.  My car is a late 69 built car (may 9th) so I guess it was a mid year change over or something.  Funny thing is that MoparJohn's car is built 3 days before mine and his is the narrow version.  Same build plant and all, just 3 days apart yet his has the long style front bumper guards.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

My car is 4/30/69 & I put the narrow cover in & had the long bumper guards....

Im curious now.....let me look in the parts book to see if they actually list 2 different covers....

EDIT---after a bit of searching all I could find were 2 different bulb socket part #'s that made reference to "before April 1,1969 & After April 1, 1969"

Couldnt actually find the cover #

[Ghoste]

I remember looking for those things in the parts book once and having a hell of a time finding them.  Out of the 67 and 69 parts book IIRC, I THINK I found one of them but not both and I can't remember which. 

[resq302]

 :scratchchin:interesting.  I wonder what the difference was in the bulb sockets?

[b5blue]

My 70 was built in 69,my cover is kinda beat up but I'm sure it came with the car.Anything I can check on it or my tail lights to help you guys out?
