Does anyone know where I can get the two pieces of vinyl top trim for a 67 El Camino? I've been looking for a couple of years with no luck and it does not seem like anyone is offering a repro of them. Thanks for any help.

I can't seem to find any reference to the part in any of my catalogs. I would probally give the following people a call. They are very helpful in locating parts. Also, do you have a GM part number?
Anyway, try:
Larry and Connie Pattern at Mostly Chevelle, 20 Blanford Stage Rd, Russel MA. 01071. Phone is 413-862-0061
Hope it helps.

I just attempted to look these up in my 1976 edition of the Chevrolet Parts book. I can not find a listing for these mouldings for the 1967 El Camino's. I found them for the 1970-1972 El Camino's, but not the earlier ones. Also, I found them for the 1966-67 Chevelles, but, once again, not the El Camino's. It could be that GM didn't produce that many, there wasn't a high demand for them as service parts so they discontinued them sometime before my book was published in 1976. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Yeah those were discontined by GM along time ago. No ones making a repo of them yet. Maybe you want to give L Camino Parts (http://www.lcaminoparts.com/) a call at 559-495-1338. They are a sponsor of the board and I think they have a bunch of used stuff.

Thanks for the tips, whats bad is I have one side, but a few years ago someone "borrowed" one while I was parked. Thanks again, maybe I can help someone in the future.

Can you post a quick pic of the one you have? That way, if anyone see's one at a swap meet, we could get in touch with you.
Just an idea..

If my memory serves me correctly, the factory didn't put vinyl tops on the '66 - '67 El Caminos. This was a dealer "option" on these years. I believe factory vinyl tops didn't come out until '68.

on a related note,has anyone else seen the 78-87 el caminos with vinyl tops? i saw one at a junkyard and thought maybe it was custom until i saw another one down the street for sale with a vinyl top! i have one of the moldings from the one at the junkyard.

I've seen 5th gen Elkys with vinyl tops. But, GM never offered an optional vinyl top for the 5th generation Elkys. It was probably a dealer option or an aftermarket add on.
