Hi there

Just a quick question: does anyone know if the lenses for a 1967 Plymouth Satellite or GTX will interchange with the Belvedere? I was told by an autowrecker that they are slightly different but I thought I'd look for another opinion. Keisler Automotive sells them new but only lists them as GTX or Satellite; I've emailed them about this but never got a response. Anyone out there know?

thanks in advance.

There were at least 3 different lens configurations I've seen, between 66 and 67. They look different but will swap if you find a matched pair. The GTX and 67 Satellite used a special bezel with thin bars going across the top and bottom of the lens, and the center of the lens is concave. The Belvedere I and II use a plain square lens without the bars. The 66 Satellite used a lens with 3 raised rectangular sections. I'm sure there were more variations, but those are the ones I know.
BTW, my grandpa bought my dad a brand new 67 GTX (which was our family car when I was little!), so I figure Dad owes me a Viper! :D
And yes, he still has the GTX.

Above info is correct. Just add the station wagon lense was different, narrower.
I think the ones Keisler has are repos, made about 4 years ago. The cost of nice original Satellite/GTX lenses are out of sight.
At the '91 Mopar Nats in Columbus OH, someone had about 25 NOS right side Belvedere I/II lenses, $25 each. Like an idiot, I only bought 1 :( (I have a '67 Belvedere II although it's not slant 6 powered).

I guess I'm not too concerned how original I go here, as long as the Keisler lenses fit my Belvedere I bezel. The picture on their website looks nice...it's either that, or I attempt something "custom" (pronounced cheap!) by using some sheetmetal to block off the factory opening and an aftermarket 4" round light, possibly LED aka large truck replacement :roll:

thanks for your input
