Found a post from 2008 from Member 72bluNblu that has pics of the inside of his 72 Dart door. It’s looks like an exact match to my replacement doors. Here are pics of his and mine. Let me know what you guys think.

That would have been Uncle Tony way back in 2017 before he became Uncle Tony. A heads up on the door differences at the time would have been nice. live and learn

Agreed, Seems like the way to go. Those vent frames available after market?

Ok, looks like the new doors are 69-72 due to the lock placement and since 73-up had no vent windows. That sound right to everybody?

Never had em.

No VIN but found this number set stamped in the middle of door.

Mark, Pics attached, doors are def 69 up due to the lock knob placement. Side mirror holes are right about the back end of a vent window. I just need to figure out what internals from my 67 doors will bolt right over or if I can make any that won’t bolt over fit with a little effort. Does that...

Dana, can you tell what year the new ( red doors ) are by the bracket in the pic? The bracket is in the vent window area.

Mike, Thanks for the reply. I’ve been researching some old posts to try and figure out which door year the replacements are. They def aren’t 67’s! Since the replacemt ones are already painted I gotta stay with em. I did see an old post that said that the brackets i am pointing at in my pic of...

Hello All, My original 67’s doors were a little too far gone to restore so I replaced with what I thought were 68 shells, planning to re-use all my 67 door glass and hardware. I cut into my old door today, pics below. What I fear is that my newer shells aren’t 68’s at all but even later shells...

Plan is a 383 stroker, keep it an automatic, 8 3/4” sure grip. Gotta keep the bench seat too!!

I can MIG but I think metal that thick calls for TIG?

I saved the Newport housing, it’s just finding someone around here to cut and weld it back. No shops around here seem to want to do it. Brandywine

First order of business is to find a 8 3/4 axle housing in A-body length. The Newport also gave up its 8 3/4” differential to the project! It’s not a sure-grip though. :(

Plan is to use a 383 block from a 65 Newport and stroke it with a kit from 440 Source.

Greetings! Well, after 5 years at two different body shops, my 67 Dart is finally home! Now comes reassembly! Hope everyone is doing well! Troub

Story of my life!

66, Tried to PM you but your box is full. Looking for a housing.

Dang. Thanks for the reply though Mark.

Meant the gear box…..not the pump.

Have access to most of the tools I need. Backlash, pinion depth, bearing replacement is all part of the plan. I would rather learn to do it myself than pay someone and have no idea what i paid them for or if the job was done properly. Getting the new complete SURE GRIP unit will help make things...

Good advice. Got the caps off, dropped the whole business out and tapped off the ring gear, which was the goal. Pulling this open diff from a donor 65 Newport. Plan on a new sure grip from Doc Diff. Trying to re-use ring gear and pinion. Cost savings plus i like the 3.23 ratio. Had never messed...

Ahh a comedian! :lol:

Then take the ring gear off? Seems like I will have to to get clearance for that screw headed pin. Why the hell Doesn't that book tell me that!?

Trying to remove the cross shafts and i know i need to remove this screw headed pin first but there is no clearance to turn it because if the ring gear. My book isnt helping on this one! Knowledge needed.

Thinking of ordering a Sure Grip unit from Doc Diff. My donor Newport rear has an open unit. Any reason i can't use the donor pinion and ring gear with the new Sure Grip? Its a 3.23 ratio and the look to be in good condition. I like the ratio for The Darts future use and hate to toss good parts.
