I don't have an answer for you but I do find it interesting that this is a common request.  I have seen at least three requests for what you are looking for and in all cases it was a 63.  I wonder if the trunk on a 63 doesn't shed water as well as it should??

I guess they rust out alot.  especially if they get some pine needles or leaves in there and then sits for years.  Unfortunately nobody re-pops these.

I ended up finding them on Ebay.   A seller was listing his trunk lid hinges with a pic of a perfect trunk lip.  So I called ...luckily they were a salvage yard.  paid around 265.00 for them cut out and shipped. Not bad.

Rusty trunk rails seem to be a common problem on these 63s.  Somebody seriously needs to consider re-popping these.  I think they would sell.  Prob the most badly needed after quarter panels and floor pans.
