| Post subject: | 63 A Body Question |
I need help identifying the proper name of a body part that I think I'm missing. When I open up the passenger door, I can see the front tire? Is there a piece of sheet metal or something in the fender well that I'm missing? If so what is it and where can I find one? |

The part you are probably missing is called, Shield, dash panel to fender part # 2254 804-5. The code # from a 1963 collision parts list is 23-34-121. You will probably need to start looking in wrecking yards, or ask around the forums such as this one. Wayne |

The correct # is 2242-442-3 for a Dart, the # in my post above is for a full size Dodge. Wayne |

Is it safe to assume the same piece listed for the Dart is the same for the Valiant? It's a 63 Valiant. |

I believe they are the same, but not sure. I know you can swap a whole Dart front clip onto a Valiant and vice versa for 63-66 cars. Lou |

Yes they are the same for Dart & Valiant, Probably 63/64/65/66 are the same but I don't have the parts list for the years other than the 63. |

Hardtop has no "B" pillar behind the door, while the sedan does. This makes the sedan lighter and stiffer, but people don't like the looks as much. Me, I like 4drs and 2dr sedans best. I believe a hardtop and a coupe are exactly the same thing. Lou |

Ok, so technically that would make mine the 2 door sedan then? Just struck me as odd to use the word sedan with a 2 door car. Mine is a 2 door with the B pillar behind the door (between front and back windows). I'm just trying to learn some of the correct terminology and as much as I can about my little Valiant.

I think it's just a matter of where somebody is raised up and who with  Around here if theres no frame around the top and back of the door glass it's a hardtop(two,four door an wagons)and the rest we called 2dr posts or 4dr sedans.Coupe now,40 Ford coupe wasn't a hardtop and my uncle had a 49 Ford Business Coupe and a 50 Ford 2dr sedan(Fords terms) and they were both posts.Since we're talking slants here I'd just call it,Good
