Restoring a late 1960s Mopar B-Body is not only about improving how the car looks. It is about restoring the lost strength and structure that made these cars stand out when they were new. One of the most challenging areas of these cars to restore is the windshield A-Pillar assembly.
Auto Metal Direct (AMD) now offers complete A-Pillar component coverage for 1968 through 1970 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body models, including Charger, Coronet, Super Bee, Belvedere, GTX, Road Runner, and Satellite. With the release of new, lower A-Pillar sections, restorers now have all three key parts needed to rebuild this area the right way. These include the inner, outer, and lower sections.
Above: The Outer Windshield A-Pillar Post (RH or LH) for 1968–1970 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body models is a precision-fit replacement that restores the windshield and roof structure with OEM-level durability and finish.
The A-Pillar is much more than a simple body panel. It is a critical structural part that connects the roof, cowl, windshield frame, and door alignment points. When this area is damaged, the problems can affect the entire vehicle. Most 1968 through 1970 B-Body projects exhibit similar problems.
These include rust at the base where water collects, hidden damage between the inner and outer layers, past repairs that are poor, and a weakened structure that affects door fit and roof strength. In the past, the lack of complete replacement parts forced many restorers to build their own sections or accept repairs that were not ideal.
Above: The Inner Windshield A-Pillar Post (RH or LH) is available for 1968–1970 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body models. The precision-fit restoration part is designed to match OEM specifications, restoring structural integrity and factory-correct appearance.
Auto Metal Direct solves this problem with a complete system. Each officially licensed Mopar Restoration part is built to match original equipment style specifications, ensuring proper fit, correct alignment, and long service life. The outer A-Pillar posts define the windshield opening and the outer body lines.
AMD reproductions match the original contours, so trim and panels fit as they should. The inner A-Pillar posts provide the main support and strength. The new lower sections fix the most common problem area, where rust usually causes the most damage. Together, these parts allow a full and proper rebuild of the structure.
Above: The Lower Windshield A-Pillar (RH or LH) is for 1968–70 Dodge & Plymouth B-Bodies. It is an OE-style stamped steel reproduction with factory-correct fit and shape. The Lower Windshield A-Pillar restores lower windshield structure, rigidity, and alignment. The pillar is black EDP coated for corrosion resistance and ready for prep and paint.
In real-world work, the hardest part of A-Pillar repair is not just replacing metal. It is keeping everything aligned across several key points. What initially looked like small rust at the base of the pillars can quickly turn into a full rebuild after the inner sections are opened. At that point, the repair becomes less about fixing the rust and more about restoring the car’s shape and alignment.
Using a full set of AMD components makes this process much easier to manage. The structure can be rebuilt step by step, and the inner and outer sections remain aligned. Important measurements, such as the windshield opening, remain correct. Door and fender gaps are also easier to set. This level of accuracy is extremely hard to achieve when using patch panels or custom-made pieces.
Above: The A-Pillar Inner Brace (RH or LH) is for 1968–70 Charger, Coronet, Super Bee, Belvedere, GTX, Road Runner, and Satellite models. The structural inner reinforcement is designed to restore factory strength and windshield pillar integrity.
Auto Metal Direct has earned a strong reputation for producing parts that meet or exceed original specifications. These A-Pillar components continue that tradition. Each piece is made from proper-thickness steel, with accurate shapes and a consistent fit across all supported models. The result is a set of parts that restore strength while also making the job easier.
For builders working in a professional shop or at home, having access to complete A-Pillar components is a major advantage. It allows one of the most important structural areas of the car to be repaired with confidence.
Above: The Inner Pillar to Cowl Brace (RH or LH) is designed for perfect fit on 1968–70 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body models. Besides textbook fit, the precision structural reinforcement restores the factory integrity between inner pillar and cowl for strength, stability, and OEM-correct restoration.
It also improves the fit of the windshield, doors, and roof, while reducing the time and guesswork involved in custom fabrication. Just as important, it keeps the restoration true to factory design by using officially licensed Mopar parts.
Auto Metal Direct continues to find missing pieces in the restoration market and provide real solutions. With the addition of the lower A-Pillar sections, the company now offers one of the most complete repair systems available for Mopar B-Body cars. For anyone serious about restoring a Charger, Road Runner, or any late-1960s B-Body the correct way, this is an important step forward.
Above: Inner Pillar to Cowl Braces are a small portion of components AMD assembles for the 1968–70 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body. Structural reinforcement restoring factory-correct strength and pillar-to-cowl integrity.
