65 & 66 Galaxies have the same rear wheel openings?
« on: October 11, 2025, 11:02:47 PM »
I recently bought a bunch of parts left over from a local guys collection after he sold his 66 7 Litre Galaxie. Among a bunch of other stuff, is a NOS set of Ford fender skirts, in a a box with the part number C5AZ-6227964-B. Since that is a 1965 part number, just wondering if they also fit a 66 Galaxie. I just want to be able to make up a correct ad when I put them up for sale. Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge the wheel openings are the same, I am going by the use of repair panels from the past.

OK thanks. I was kinda thinking that they were, considering he had a 66 7 Litre Galaxie, and all the other parts were for 66s.

They are not the same. The wheel well opening on the 66 Galaxie is larger, at least height wise.
