jobber, I think the discount is 15% It helps when your ordering 5-10k worth of sheet metal.

Yeah that looks like my car. I wonder if that stripe was original. If I recall my car was coded for side stripes but it also has those moldings on the side which I think deletes the stripes.

I bet you could find a donor OEM motor in the junkyard that could be fit on the new regulator that would be stronger than the crap china one.

Nope, I yanked it out and put the original regulators in. They worked just fine, the motors just didnt have enough *** to crank the window up. Going down was just fine and up was slow until about half way then it wouldnt go up any more on its own. I think if it was the 72 down smaller window...

There's no shortage of 340 blocks out there. Granted, many of them are at least .030 over but you still see std bore ones for sale. Not to mention everyone that has horded them (myself included). At some point I will decide that I dont need to keep all these blocks. I remember the MP "resto"...

I bought some either on amazon or ebay. Non adhesive wrapping tape. It worked great and looks like the factory job.

Dont be scared of plastic in the joints either. Some of these plastics are harder than metal.

73 wheel is different. Should look like this one.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/295993068581?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AfmBOopKss7Ip7rCtCFp1qdSWjhNSrbZHFQAEBwbG6rCsMudMlWcHJOsMwE

The factory joints had metal bushings. Most all (even MOOG) new production joints now use plastic in them. Yes I believe that bushing moves around in there. It wont move much on a new joint but is noticeable on one with miles. If there is no slop in it, run it.

It looks like there is already a heli coil in the other hole. Someone probably used bolts that were too long and cracked it. A thread sert would be more than sufficient to repair that. Yeah, heli-coils are awesome but on something like that I would use a solid thread sert.

Do they repop these? They didnt when I needed them a few years ago. Yes, the originals are almost always cracked at the front edge. It took me forever to piece together a perfect set. I have some black ones but probably none that are perfect. OP needs to let us know what kind of car they are...

Swinger is longer than the duster and dart sport.

There is a local guy in the southern Maryland area I can get you in contact with. He does a ton of dana rears but im sure he can do 8 3/4 as well.

I think they dropped the flower in 75.

You can try one of these bootleg ones. Made in CHYNAH https://www.amazon.com/Exhaust-Manifold-Chrysler-Plymouth-Pickup/dp/B01K2KEQ4I/?tag=fabo03-20
