Hi Jason,
 
As long as the 67 kick panels fit my 66 and look like they fit, I'm not too concerned about the quality of the speakers.  I like how the panels look like they weren't hacked up to fit the speakers.  If the speakers sound that bad, I can always get a better pair.  I would prefer to buy the panels w/o the speakers, but for some reason the Chevelle model is the only one not available w/o speakers.
 
Of course, if I was building a different kind of car, then that's the one that wouldn't be available w/o speakers!  :)

herb,
the difference between the 66 and 67 kick panels is..the 67 panels have the vent pulls as an integral part of the panel.the area the panels mount to should be in theory carbon copies.have you heard the speakers Herb?, i would try to check them before you buy.

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately, it doesn't help - I should have worded my question better.
 
What I want to do is order a set of Custom Autosound kick panels w/ speakers http://www.custom-autosound.com/chevelle_kick_panel_speakers.htm .
 
The only one offered for 66 is non-AC while the 67 is for AC.  Since I have ice cold Vintage Air I would prefer to get the 67 panels - the 66 panels have vent slots which I don't need in my Elky.
 
In the picture the two panels look like they would be interchangeable.  Does anyone know if the 66 & 67 panels will physically interchange?  Thanks again!

According to the GM P&A book, C.A.C. is Car Air Conditioning (All Weather, 4 season, Deluxe) and was the regular side control A/C system you ~normally~ see (RPO C60) and used assembly line installed A/C components and is mixed with the heater.  The lesser type of A/C was the dealer installed "hang on" (called Comfort-Car and has no RPO since it was dealer installed) that had the dial operated box hanging under the dash and didn't route ducts up in the dash or in the kick panels - sort of like http://www.team67.com/1967/gallery/survivors/gold_malibu_dash_inside.jpg.  These were different styles as the dealer often either bought them through different suppliers or farmed them out for installation.  The one in the picture above has the knobs side-by-side and the one in a 67 Chevelle dealer brochure has the knobs arranged one over the other

AFAIK, C.A.C. is comfotron air conditioner, which is the type that can be set by a little dial with temperature numbers on it rather than by a slider that just says hot & cold.

Herb,

 

My Detroit Iron CD for 67 ususally has parts listings for 64-72 stuff but in this case it doesn't.  What it does show is for 14.630 group, the panel:

66 Malibu (exc. Sta. Wag., 4-Dr. Sed.)  4474360 R.H. (only one shown)

67 Chevelle (exc. C.A.C.) 7680402 R.H.

67 Chevelle (exc. C.A.C.) 7680421 L.H.

 

(C.A.C. is air conditioning) it doesn't appear as though 66 (assumed 2-dr or conv from above) and 67 are the same panels.

Does anyone know if the kick panels for '66 Chevelles/El Caminos are interchangeable with '67s or are they too different?

 

Thanks.
