confused about a "charger" emblem

[r4daytona]

Just looking for further verification on the "charger" emblem that goes on the C pillar of my daytona.  I thought I read that they were different for each side because of the curve.  I talked with a vendor about buying a pair and he was nice enough to tell me that I can go to my local dodge dealer and since they are a Mopar performance part and just buy a pair. 

Anyway, I went to a dealer, they could order a set but the book didn't really explain much about them or if different ones were needed.  the parts guys said it should be the same.  SO with that being said, did I read my info incorrectly?  Would they be the same or different for each side?  Once I order I can't return them.

Oh, the part number I got was P2841886

The originals were listed as 2 seperate part numbers,and Im not sure why. Ive studied a pair of nos ones and have not seen any difference other than the last number of the part number itself. There must have been a very minute diff, and they eventually decided it was too small to matter because they are know covered by the one part number.

Other side is '887' and hard as hell to find NOS!

Yes - the "C" pillar compound curves requires that there are one for each side.  Yes - you can use 886 on both sides, but it looks 'funny'
on the other side.

Any show quality, make that concourse quality, car should have one of each number.    The trained eye can easily see it.

Here is that page from the 69 collision manual.  2841886.  "P" is added because (now) it is considered a classic performance item.
I see they list 887 in the regular parts catalog.  No idea why.  They were always one number as I recall.

Only $5.78 for wheel mouldings?  I should just get NOS ones!

[Charger-Bodie]

Could they have made the same emblem with two part numbers so assembly line workers wouldn't be confused?   

[resq302]

I could just see it.  Nope, that script doesn't go on my side, its got x part number on it.  As the whole line of cars go down the assembly line missing one script on the C post!   

Although, that could explain a lot as to why the Pentastar is only on the pass. side.

Face down, next to each other, they have a different curve.

I just installed my last nos set a month ago. I wish the headliner wasnt in so i could do a comparo.

I think he was joking but you are correct. I attached the TSB from 63 about adding to 1963 cars.
And if anyone is interested here is a link to the history.

Yes, I am well aware that it was o n the pass side.  They only did that on the one side to save on costs due to what was mentioned earlier about the passerby on the sidewalk.  For the most part, cars are usually parked on the right side of the road unless you are on a one way street with parking on both sides.

by looking at that bulletin it would seem that it didn't apply to Dodge??

[resq302]

Most likely, Dodge would have had its own bulletin on it.  Back then, dealerships were not like it was today.  It was Chrysler and Plymouth together at a dealership and Dodge at a separate dealership.  I remember seeing on Barry Washingtons Hamtramck registry page that he had factory bulletins, etc. and it was separated by Dodge, and Chrysler/Plymouth categories.

[ODZKing]

Yes, Dodge had their own - I only have the one.
Dealerships were Dodge-Dodge trucks and Chrysler-Plymouth-Imperial (which was it's own brand)
