'67-'68 2DHT Package shelf trim and Rear seat back shroud explained

[MYSINBIN]

Decided to start a new thread about the discussion in this thread:

For Sale - Have we discussed this 68 Newport 4 spd yet? | For C Bodies Only Classic Mopar Forum

I spent some time looking through the '67 parts manual and found the info for the rear "pretty thing".

First is the interior view of Chrysler 300 2DHT w/bucket seat option:

Next is the item distribution drawings:

Notice letter "E" in top and bottom drawings.

Now the distribution drawing legend:

Notice that there is a Shelf Trim Panel and Rear Seat Back Shroud.

And then the part number page:

"C" is Chrysler, "Y" is Imperial. 23-102-3 is the Shelf Trim Panel, 23-102-6 is the Rear Seat Back Shroud.

I'm assuming that this is all the same for '68, but keep in mind this is the '67 parts manual.

So the Shelf Trim Panel is used in standard bench seat interiors, and the Rear Seat Back Shroud is used in bucket seat interiors.

Hopefully, I eliminated all the grey area for everyone.

The parts book calls it rear seatback trim.

Shroud. Trim. Same thing.
Why are we even here...

68 same code. Different p/n in 68 for Chrysler, but same for Imp.

Doesn't say paint as required like 67. Maybe just black in 68?

View attachment 75701 68 same code. Different p/n in 68 for Chrysler, but same for Imp.

Cool, thanks for the input.

In all my years of looking, I've never seen any other color than black, '67 or '68.

me either but most of the interiors I've looked at in 67 and 68 fast tops have been white or black so they would definitely have had the black "Rear Seat Back Shroud"

Anyone got enough info that we could include the 65-66 models and make this a sticky?
I have seen the 65-66 style in both fiberglass and water-warped pressboard, would love to know where that difference occurs.

Sounds like a good idea to me FF if the OP and everyone else is OK with it.

If necessary I could edit the thread title
