ISO - 68 Monaco Wagon right front wheel moldings

[1Fury1]

When I bought this wagon the seller promised me he knew where these trim pieces were. After several unanswered follow up attempts I have come to realize he is a flake. Now the search is on to find them and I'm wondering if other wagons from that year might have the same ones, ie. the T&C or Suburban. There are very few 68 Monaco wagon parts cars out there so if anyone knows where one is I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Those will fit from ANY 68 Monaco of the same model, and are not wagon specific.

Try Murray Park in Tiffin Ohio.

Are you sure Ross? Those look like they are the woodgrain moldings, not the standard wheel opening molding. The non wagon have wider ones it looks like.

I've never seen those on any 68 Monaco other than a wood grain wagon.

The wagon moulding is wider I believe and it comes all the way to the front vs the standard one stops at the bumper.

Thanks for setting me straight on that guys... still, try Murray Park and see. Also, look up the part numbers and see if they show up on PartsVoice.com

I did some internet comparisons, and the 68 T&C and the 68 Suburban both have different moldings unfortunately.

Determine the correct part numbers and Google the part number + MOPAR and see what comes up.

Thanks for digging these up Ross. I sent an inquiry to the first one. Its within a day's drive but I'm not optimistic since there is no indication how old the posting is. On the ct autoranch link there doesn't appear to be any 68 Monaco.

Determine the correct part numbers

Agreed that could turn up something but finding a parts manual could be a tall order.

Their site is strange - there is a search bar tucked away in there, and when I type 1968 Dodge Monaco Wagon there it takes me out of their site to a Google search result showings photos of a 68 wagon at their yard. Call them.

I plugged those part numbers into PartsVoice. Len Dawson (Deception Pass) shows 1 of them and Collectors Auto Supply shows 3 of the other.

Keep in mind that Collector's is a "parts clearing house" - they have a database of all the other suppliers out there (many who don't have an online presence) and they buy from them and resell to us at a huge premium.

One of their suppliers that few know about (and is one of Collector's ace in the holes) is Rovon Auto Parts in BC Canada - look them up and see what he's got.

Ok I remember seeing this one before. The moulding I need is the only one that appears to be missing lol.

Thanks again I'll be making some calls tomorrow.

That is definitely woodgrain trim.

Had any luck? Here is a link to a 68 Monaco wagon from FB :

I may know where one of these wagons is, I can see whether it has the trim.

Thanks Ross I sent him a message. Still haven’t found anything but hard to reach people over the holidays.
