Question Inner fender question 64-67?

Looking for a inner fender for my car, a few places show that 64-67 inner fender to be the same. Is that really the case? If so where to get em cheap?

I dont know if they are the same . I heard that too but some sources state that if your car came with a power brake booster ther should be an indentation on the drivers side inner fender to clear the booster.

Default MYTH?

I may be one of the two sources pontirag is speaking of and I have NO definite proof of the PB and manual brake difference. I'm still looking for a dr. side with NO indention. May be just a myth 'cause they sure are hard to locate and, I'm sure, there were lots of manual brake cars built. Try hard to find a used part rather than a repop. Fit is VERY critical on the front end. Just a little difference in the making WILL cost you alignment problems. Believe me: "Been there,done that"!! LOL

Ames sells the inner fenders for the 66-67 and says they will fit a 64-65. The difference is that the 66-67 has an indent to accommodate an 11" brake booster. PY sells the same inner fender but does not say that it fits a 64-65.

Have you tried Frank's Pontiac parts? http://www.frankspontiacparts.com/usedparts/index.htm They normally have a good selection of used parts.

Other places to check are Billions and Trillions. http://www.billionsandtrillionsinc.com/ , Potomac Classics http://www.potomacclassic.com/

I have some other places too but they don't have web sites and their phone numbers are at home. If you would like their numbers let me know and I will post them tonight when I get home. I found Potomac Classics and the ones that I have the phone numbers for from dealing with places like Ames and PY. When they don't have the new parts you need they have a list of used places to call that they recommend and have great reputations. I have used a couple of them and they are very reliable.

Default All have the indent

I have never seen or heard of a 64 thru 67 LH inner fender without the indent. All 64,65,66 years came with the small shallow indent with or without the PB booster. The 67 is a one year only with a much larger indent because the 67 PB booster was a larger version than the previous years.
There may be other small differences elsewhere such as where the brace attaches the inner fender to the firewall down by the frame??

I've talk to Franks'. Cost more to ship than the part cost.

The '64 driver side inner fender has some oval holes that are unique to that year for securing the harness.
As far as passenger side for a '65, I don't recollect there being a difference between that and the '64, or the '66 and '67. Due to size in 3 dimensions, it will always be pricey to ship. I should think that you would be able to find one close enough to pick up.
The repo would work well for you.
I have never seen a '64-6 driver side fender that didn't have the dimple to clear the booster.

Darn. I just handed off '65 outers to Velox65 and have at least one side of inner from a '67 LeMans; I may have both? I had no clue they fit a '65.

Let me dig the darn things out and see what I've got. The car was a standard brake car
and I would almost bet money it had never been apart so it will be interesting to see if there is an indentation for the booster the car did not have.
