Steelies sanded and painted with Chrome nuts!

After dealing with clearance issues on my back wheels I decided to swap out my centerlines with black steel wheels and chrome nuts all around. No more bumps thumpin' my wheels in the wells. Funny thing is the centerlines used longer shank nuts and washers but my steelies use acorn nuts. They...

Ah...the photo.

Hi again, so after much consideration I have found the simple solution for me goes as follows. I got a set of steel wheels from a fellow mopar brother. They came from a similar year gold Duster. Cleaned them up. Sanded, primed and painted. The back space is over 4 inches on the steel. It is...

Well done! Congratulations. I Hope they have some kids for you to spoil real soon!

Hi you mentioned 340 leaf springs I am interested. How much were you thinking? How soon will they be available? I hope this is how pm's are sent. Thanks. Brendan "H2obuffalo" Wright

Its tge original 7 1/4" rear...sigh, spring perches are un modified. The outside of the tire rubs the fender in big dips. After reading all of your posts and running a ruler around the spaces. I have come to the conclusion that the 15" rear centerlines have too shallow of a bowl to use on my...

Yup that was my understanding, So does anybody know what the narrowest tire size available for 15" centerline wheels that will function well with the 195 70 14's up front?

I recently replaces the shocks in my 72 Swinger with KYB Gas adjust. When I bought he Car had Air shocks on the rear complete with bike pump nozzle. They still held air but were super soft and bouncy...awful. After I replaced them the car sat a bit lower but the right wheel would rub on the...

Wow! Thanks for all of the excellent info. I saw a duster slant six manual for sale and was dreaming of swapping out the trans to 4 on the floor to make a hotter performer with gas sipping at cruise speeds. I now see that there is a bit more work to be done with gears for what I was thinking...

Has anybody here ever seen a Factory dart or duster with a slant six and a four speed manual? Was this available from 69 to 73 options? Just curious and if anybody has one hows the performance? Thanks

My pride and joy!...72 Swinger A lovely 10-footer.

I like black on black.

Hi all. I have a rebuilt 727 transmission I am looking to trade for a 8 3/4 rear axel for my 1972 swinger. Im in the SF East bay looking for a local or close deal. Also would someone let me know if is this a fair trade. Im not sure of the value of these parts as the prices really seem to vary...

Hello all. I want to remove the stereo from my 72 swinger. Its a panasonic am fm tape player. I think it is causing my battery drain. I pullled the fuse which also kills my signal lights and the drain is gone. The stereo just plays tapes and has very poor reception so its gotta go. There is a...

Wow, thanks for all the replies and advice. I think I am going to keep the 904 tranny and the 318 as is. The engine runs too well for me to want to change it. I'll try and find someone to trade my rebuilt 727 for an 8 3/4 diff so i can get suregrip going and that should keep me happy for some...

Also here is a picture of my rear diff. Is it possible to change the gears on this diff to something slightly higher than freeway friendly gears i have now for a little quicker jump off the line? Or possible a suregrip swapout. Thoughts? Or should i find another diff.

Thanks for all the replies. Im out of town but after I get back Ill try and get hold of the previous owner and verify the exact mild cam what pistons etc, and go through the service records.(my new car came with a wonderfully full file of work and parts history docs.) Do my homework and add...
