Thanks, I think I may have figured this thing out now (I hope). I checked out your homepage and you have a great looking Chevelle.

Hi! As long as we are talking interiors, I have a question about the A-pillars. I've seen a couple of different pairs supposedly for a '68 Chevy II Nova. One pair looked like it was made with a "skin" wrapped around a foam/metal core.

The second pair looked like a molded & textured urethane construction (like a dash pad) with a metal core. It even had GM part numbers on it.

What style is correct? Are both correct? Did GM supply replacement parts in the early 70's that differed slightly in design?

Does anyone have any knowledge about '68 Nova A-pillars?

The A-pillars on my 68 SS are both padded and I purchased a 68 non SS recently for parts and the A-pillars on it were also padded. I saw a set on E-bay once and the guy mentioned something about them being unique to 68's but I don't know if they are or not although several other parts of the 68's interior are unique like the dashpad,instrument bezel, glovebox door, ashtray, front bench seat(no head rests) and position of the door locks which means the doorpanels are unique also.
