    Rear Bumper Alignment

    All, thanks for your input. Gives me a lot to go forward with. I do not know if the car was ever hit in the rear, but now I believe I know how to move forward. Thanks again for your responses. This site is awesome.

    Rear Bumper Alignment

    I have a '71 Duster, and as can seen in the photo the rear bumper does not align correctly with the body. At first I thought it was because someone had raised the car using the bumper and had bent the mounting brackets. Before I remove the bumper and attempt to realign the mounting brackets, I...

    [SOLD] 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 V24!

    I already have a 71 Duster so am not in the market for another. However mine has been repainted and looks to be very much like your color. Do you happen to know what paint color (code) yours is? I know you showed the data plate but I am not up to date in reading them.

    Afraid not. Your price is about right, but the location puts it out of my range.

    '71 Duster Brake Pedal Switch

    Well, if you take away the issues that I am almost 6 foot tall, 220 pounds, and at 68 not as flexible as I once was, this really was a fairly simple procedure. Biggest issues were locating the adjustment bolt and getting correct socket, and finally figuring out the proper body contortions...

    '71 Duster Brake Pedal Switch

    The brake lights on my Duster do not illuminate until heavy pressure is applied to the pedal. How do I adjust the pedal / switch to allow the lights to illuminate with a lighter touch to the pedal?

    What kind of brake calipers on my ‘71 Duster 340?

    A word of caution regarding the lug bolt patterns. When we converted the manual brakes on my 71 Duster to power disc we learned there were 2 different lug patterns dependent on the original engine installed. The slant 6 and 318 had the smaller 5X4 pattern while the 340 had the larger 5X4.5...

    340 or 360?

    I have had the slant 6 in a '73 Duster, the 318 in a '72 Scamp, and currently have a '71 Duster with a 360 original to a '78 Lil Red Truck. Never had a 340. But I have found good in every different MOPAR engine I have ever had.

    With or with out a hood scoop?

    My viewpoint is if your Duster has the 340, then go with either the 340 hood scoops or the 340 hood decal. I cannot say I am a purest because my '71 Duster has a 360 and we all know there not installed in MOPAR cars until 1974. Because of that I changed out the original grill and installed a...

    Exactly what I am after. I have the VIN tag and a damaged decal/tag on the drivers door, but not other paperwork. Simply doing this for the enjoyment and knowledge obtained.

    Manufacturer Window Stickers

    You are correct, this is a fantastic forum which has assisted me constantly in the past. Just frustrating when you ask a question and some of the responses are "less than helpful". Overall a great site and I would not give it up for anything.

    Manufacturer Window Stickers

    To date I have always found great support and enormously helpful information from this forum. if I knew this topic was going to result in this type of response I would have kept it to myself. All I wanted was a source to find what may have reflected what my Duster was when produced. If I do...

    Manufacturer Window Stickers

    Not looking for "fake" or anything to determine the value of the car. Simply for viewing and conversation starters when with other MOPAR folks. If they are not longer available due to the age of the vehicle, then so be it. Just trying to find out what is available (or not).

    Manufacturer Window Stickers

    I have done some extensive research on line and within this forum to see if it is possible to get a reproduction of the vehicle manufacturer window sticker. At worse it appears this is a dead end project, and at best I have been able to find Triple A Enterprises. But they can't (at this time)...

    73 duster slant 3 on floor ?

    Whoever told you that set up did not exist did not know what he (or she) was talking about. I owned a 1973 Duster with a slant 6 and 3 speed on the floor. A buddy of mine purchased it brand new in San Antonio TX and shipped it to Germany in 1974. I bought if from him in 1976 and shipped it...

    Removal and rebuilding 71 Duster door hinges

    First of all I have to give credit to all the members of this forum who assisted me in this task. My task was to remove and rebuild the door hinges on my 1971 Duster. The driver's door sagged due to slop in the lower hinge, and neither door had the "S" spring installed. The first thing I did...

    1971 Duster Driver Door Adjustment

    I guess I was just lucky it only took 45 minutes - no lie. Removal of the door was super easy using a floor jack to hold the door and a helper to balance it as the bolts were removed. Only took 5-10 minutes to ream out the holes and add the new spring. Most of the time was remounting the door...

    1971 Duster Driver Door Adjustment

    OK - this is how it played out. I ordered a hinge restoration kit from Restorations by Rick Kreuziger - Product and Component Restoration Detailed Information (restorick.com) . As recommended I removed the door to access the lower hinge, used Ricks kit to ream the holes, installed the larger...

    DOOR HINGE REMOVAL - 1971 A-BODY

    I already have the rebuild kit with the reamer tool and the larger hinge pins. My question still remains, is it possible to remove the lower hinge with the door still attached to the upper hinge? Or does the door have to be removed to get to the forward bolt in the inner portion of the lower...

    DOOR HINGE REMOVAL - 1971 A-BODY

    How do you get the lower hinge off? One the inside hinge (the one connecting to the body) the most forward bolt is inserted from the outside. I cannot see how to access the bolt head with the door still mounted.

    DOOR HINGE REMOVAL - 1971 A-BODY

    I am getting ready to rebuild the lower door hinges on my 1971 Duster and just want to confirm I need to actually remove the door to get the hinge off the car. Unless someone has a way to remove the hinge with the door still connected to the upper hinge. Once I have that confirmed I believe I...
