I don't believe that the '65 and '66 are the same. But I'm pretty sure that the '64 and '65 are the same. Good luck finding a decent set. They don't come up that often. The good news is that they are stainless steel and can be made to look like new with the proper restoration methods. John

Yes, the 64 and 65 wheel well trim is the same, at least for the coupes and maybe 4 doors anyway. I seem to recall that rear ones on wagons are different. :dontknow:

66 wheel well mouldings are completely different than the 64-65 wheel well mouldings.  As Mr. T said, the rear mouldings for a wagon are different.  2dr. and 4dr. wheel well mouldings are exactly the same on 64-65 Skylark/Special/GS
'64 Skylark 2dr ht 4 speed, 300-4
'65 GS ht, 4 speed,2-4s,AC,PS,PB,PW,Pseat,Tilt
'66 Skylark 2dr ht 300-2 automatic
'78 Yamaha DT 400 2 stroke
'88 Ford F-150 4x4 (used to be 4x2)
'89 Ford F-350 4x4
'03 Honda Accord Coupe V6 6-speed manual (daily driver)

Are you still looking for the wheel well moldings? I just took a set off a junk 65 convertible. They do need work.
