Fuel neck seal, "early" 68

[grdprx]

I went to put my fuel tube in last week, the trunk seal doesn't match the holes in the floor.   

I ordered it back in 9/07 from yearone, cuz I was young and dumb.  Well, now it says "late" 68-70 Charger fuel neck seal...

They list a 65-68 Mopar B body seal, would that be correct?      It's 10 bucks more... figures.

The good news if it is their mistake they will return it for no cost.  If it is yours you will have to pay shipping.

So, I called year one and got an RA.  The rep told me no one makes the trunk seal for the early 68.  Is that true?

Wow I didn't even know about this . . . so the filler tubes were different diameters?

[grdprx]

No, the mounting screws on the trunk floor.  The one I got, the holes were wider than the holes on the floor.  I'll have to measure to find a solution.  I'm trying to find out if the regular B body seal will work for the early 68..

Description says:  "Filler neck to trunk floor seal for 1965-1968 Mopar B-body models"

Best of luck,

The good news is someone does make the early 68 style filler neck seal. I bought one a couple of years ago. The bad news is that the guy I bought mine from is no longer in the Mopar parts business. He went by the name "logitech" on ebay, and I don't remember his real name. Maybe someone else will know who I'm talking about.

So, there is a specific early 68 Charger seal, that isn't interchangeable?

I don't know it the one YO lists for the 65-68 B-bodies is the same as the one you need for the early 68 Charger, but I looked on Ebay last night and there is what looks like a decent used one on there right now that is the early style.

There's a Year One seal on Ebay right now that's describes as being for 68-70 as you described in your first post: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/68-70-Dodge-Charger-MOPAR-Filler-Neck-Trunk-Floor-Seal_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem110374364496QQitemZ110374364496QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Thank you guys for your help!  That used one on Ebay looks ok and the measurement looks promising.  I requested measurements from him, and it turns out that the two sides vary by a quarter inch.  One is two & a half the other is two & three quarters.  So I've asked him to verify this against the one he's selling.  Thanks again!

Guess what I found in the bottom of my parts box!!!   

An old used fuel neck seal!  I'll have to confirm that it's correct, but it looks right!

I ended up loosing that e-bay auction... 

I should really inventory all that stuff
