Rear crossmember/bumper mount? question..

[68 General]

Hello, I'm restoring a '68, and I was wondering..does anyone know if they sell a replacement panel for the rear end..I suppose it would be considered a rear crossmember..it sits directly behind the rear valance panel..the ends of mine where it meets the quarters are both completely rusted/gone ..Anyone know if they sell an aftermarket replacement for this? Don't recall exactly, but the rear bumper I think mounts to it...It's been a year or so since I last looked at my car (due to moving, and other such crap) ..

Any help would be appreciated..

Thank you,

Chris

Welcome Chris.   Probably referring to this piece?



Readily available along with other metal parts at AMD

   I bought these "reinforcement" pieces from Ebay (I think). Pretty sure they are AMD. I think they're meant to go on top of your old crossmember but you can just splice them in too. They are a bit thicker. Cheaper than buying the whole panel. Here's my before and after pics:

Those plates are for a 68-70 Coronet or Runner. They go on top of the crossmember on those cars for bumper support strength. They will fit behind the valance on a Charger when used in place of the X-member ends like you have done.
