    I need a package tray panel for a 1967GS400 , OPGI lists 2 of these to fit 64/65 and 66/77 chevelle coupes , part nos CH32446 & CH30570 both look identical by the photos , and very close to the what the termites found unpalatable, before I ship one to Australia ,has anyone used either of these ,do they fit without too much butchery ?

    Chevelles have a shorter deck/c-pillar than Buick/Olds/Pontiac.... the distance between trunk lid and rear window is shorter on a Chevelle (the deck filler).
    If you need to replace the outer panel, find one for a GTO, a Chevelle panel won't fit.

    I do see you are looking for the support panel under that. Ames Pontiac shows it.
    The GTO/Buick/Olds panel is likely offered by other vendors as well.
    Here's the link to their catalog:

    Panel is on page 156.

    Thank you, very hard to see the differences in these parts from here , can’t trust photos in catalogs, glad to borrow your eyes .
    It was only after i removed the infill panel to replace it, with a newie bought some years ago ,that I could see what remained of the package tray ,not impressed , the deeper you dig the more gold you find .

    Glad I could help!
    It can be difficult finding the correct parts for our Buicks. Ames (Pontiac) does make more of an effort to sort though the various suppliers to find the best quality parts. Many of those also fit our Buicks.
    CARS is another Buick-specific supplier that can be counted on to supply correct parts.
