Whirlpool has a few models under 67 inches. You can check them out he
http://www.whirlpool.com/cgi-bin/nco... frigerators#1

I did a quick look at Amana, but they all were 70 inches. Since Kitchen Aid
and many Kenmore units are made by Whirlpool, they probably also have units
that will meet your needs. All of the major manufactures have websites that
list their products and give dimensions.

Have they ruled out moving the cabinet? They are usually easy to remove.

I had a side by side and would never own one again. Particularly if it's
narrow. Getting in and out of that thing you had to be a contortionist. We
now have a Woods Frig only type.

Since we had two freezers anyway, I find that the Freezer free models are
excellent and a lot less work to look after.

All the major appliance makers have web pages. You can get the
specifications and sizes with a few minutes of searching.

Amana is 70", but Whirlpool does have a couple that meet your needs.
