Hi, welcome aboard! I too have a 1966 Valiant. What you have is a A-body, people refer them as "early A-body" cars on this site (66-older). Most a-body parts you need will come from 63-66 a-body dodge and plymouth cars. A-body cars from 67-76 are a lot different! Ebay is a good place to find parts, also www.kramerauto.com has a lot of sheet metal. Try Year One, also Layson's Restorations has a lot of parts but I have heard NOTHING good about there service!! I would look at the for sale posts on this site, also post a wanted ad for parts you need! I have bought and sold stuff here before, very helpful people here! Good luck with your 66 Valiant!!
 
Jubba, welcome to the site. Those floorpans are available from autobodyspecialties.com. Be advised that I am 99% sure that doors from 1964 thru 1966 Valiants and Darts are all the same and are interchangeable if body styles are the same. Year One and Legendary are two of the better interior suppliers. Laysons also supplies parts for your car but they have a terrible reputation for not delivering. Used parts are abundantly available on Ebay and a lot of salvage yards in the midwest. What color is your car? There was a guy that was selling blue door and backseat panels on this site, and he still had them as of last week. Very inexpensive too. Post some pics of your car here when you get a chance, and good luck with your new ride. Mike
