C3 interior help!
Does anyone know if the rear compartment area is the same for a '69 corvette as it is in a 78-82? I just need to know if the rear fender wells have the same contour to them and so forth. I've only seen pictures but they look the same. Can anyone with a 68-70 vette and 78-82 vette please check for me? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies! I 'm mostly interested in the area behind the compartments and the shape of the fender wells. I found a custom box for 6x9's that I would like to put in my '69. The box is made for a 78-82 but as far as I can tell the very rear section of the interior is the same for both.

You can put a (3) door unit into the 79-82, but not the other way around. They both are the same size but the corner notch is different and the two door package has the handles molded into the trim. This handle will hit the top of the wall behind the sets.

Could you share with us where you are getting those?? I might be interested in something like that as well.
