1964 Master Body Hardware Kit
1964 Master Body Hardware Kit, 1964 Master Body Hardware Kits are extensive, multi-piece fastener packages curated for a complete ground-up or frame-off vehicle restoration. These kits replace worn, rusted, or missing factory fasteners with brand-new, factory-correct hardware featuring authentic head markings, thread pitches, and chemical finishes (such as black oxide, zinc, or phosphate).
Typically manufactured by AMK Products or reproduced by premium sheet metal brands, a master body kit provides roughly 85% of all the exterior and structural sheet metal fasteners found on the vehicle.
What Most 1964 Master Kits Include
The components are grouped into individually sealed, labeled sub-bags. Depending on your vehicle type, a 1964 master kit averages between 370 to 500 pieces and includes hardware for:
- Front End Sheet Metal: Fenders, inner wheelhouses, fender braces, extensions, splash shields, and battery trays.
- Grille & Lighting: Grille assembly, grille brackets, moldings, headlight bezels, housings, adjusters, parking lamps, and tail lamps.
- Hood & Trunk Assemblies: Hood hinges, hood leveler bumpers, hood catch, lock plate, trunk lid hinges, and trunk latch/striker.
- Bumpers & Fillers: Structural front and rear bumper bolts (including stainless-capped bolts where applicable), frame brackets, and bumper filler panels.
- Doors & Trim: Heavy-duty door latches, cowl panels, nameplates/emblems, and license plate brackets.
Restoration Shop Tips
- Reference the Assembly Manual: Premium AMK-style kits print the original factory assembly manual page numbers directly on the sub-bag tags. Keeping a copy of your vehicle’s 1964 Factory Assembly Manual on your workbench will help you instantly identify where specialized washers or U-nuts clip into place.
- Open Only What You Need: Avoid the temptation to dump all the sub-bags into a single hardware tray. Keep them organized by sub-assembly and only open the bag for the specific area you are building (e.g., Front Grille Moldings) to avoid mixing up similar looking threads.
