    Veterans On the Board

    I put this in a reply before, so here's a stand-alone version. US Army - first a brat (from birth in Panama to enlistment to leave Fort Campbell, KY). Winter 82-83 at Fort Leonard Wood for Basic Training - we got snow, Dix and Jackson got ice. I prefer snow. Sigint AIT at Goodfellow AFB in...

    1964 Dodge Dart GT Convertible

    Folks, you may remember my garage post from December 2020 - well, we're 20 months later, and a lot has happened since then. I went from a rust-bucket badly painted white GT vert to a 3rd-place winner in class at Carlisle last weekend. "All" I had to do was buy some body work, a great paint...

    65 Dart Horn Problems

    OK, I looked at that problem - and on my new turn signal switch there was a washer that went between the bolt and the switch plastic part. I removed the washer, and ground down the top of the bolt, AND IT WORKED. Now my horn works. At least with a Grant aftermarket steering wheel installed...

    65 Dart Horn Problems

    Because you can't replace the horn ring unless you remove the retaining ring first.

    65 Dart Horn Problems

    I did buy this - but until I figure out how to put the retaining ring back on - I'm stuck.

    65 Dart Horn Problems

    Removing the retaining ring isn't difficult. It's putting it back on that's a *****. I destroyed a spare OEM steering wheel trying. Waiting to figure out a technique to slightly stretch the ring before trying to reinstall it on my other steering wheel. I've also got two of the Grant...

    That looks like it could be my problem - so how did you fix it?

    Heater box non/AC

    If you have the 63 with the below-dash knobs, you should be able to pull the knob bracket out with the heater box, leaving the cables attached. If yours is a 64 with the knobs mounted above the radio, you're SOL, and you'll have to detach the cables at the box so you can pull them through the dash.

    Front bumper brackets

    Anyone have a set of front bumper brackets for a 64 Dart sitting in a corner collecting dust? Body shop seems to have lost mine - and my patience is wearing very thin. Reasonably priced + the shipping cost, of course.

    Three guesses why no fuel.

    That goes along with my idea of "fix/replace the cheapest thing first".

    [WANTED] Wiper Switch for 1964 Dart

    Well, my rebuild hit a snag today - my Wiper Switch fell apart while I was installing the dashboard. So, if anyone has the 1964 Variable-Speed Wiper switch (complete with handle/pushbutton and the resistor box in the back), MOPAR Part #2423663, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. One was...

    Replacing rusted trim clips

    I need to replace all of the clips for the stainless trim on my 64 GT Convertible. Well, all except the strip below the doors, anyway. Do any of you have the correct part numbers and a good source for new-ish replacements? The two pictured next to the ruler are from the side trim and the...

    Rick, that's quite reasonable. I cancelled my taillight order from you a month or so ago, I'll hit your website and make this order instead. Thanks.

    63-66 Dart carpet hold-down pieces

    I'm looking to replace the carpet hold-down strips in my 64 convertible. One was missing, the other was in bad shape. Anyone have a set sitting in a garage collecting dust that they can do without? These are the aluminum strips that run from the kickpanels, below the door (but over the door...

    Convertible Windshield Gasket 63-66 Dart

    My go-to is either MoparMall or Temecula Valley Mopar (i.monit@ebay). They may be connected. My MoparMall order is delayed with no end in site. TVM is "away" until April 26 (was April 15, was something else before that). Does anyone have ANOTHER source for this part? It's kind of vital to my...

    Finding the right parts

    Does anyone know who sells the two-chamber master cylinder that was available for heavy-duty use 1964 Darts? I remember my 64 sedan had a two-chamber master, but my 64 GT convertible has the single-chamber master. I've found a two-chamber, but it doesn't come with the plunger that attaches to...

    Heater box non/AC

    I'm replacing the heater core in my 64 Dart GT convertible. As I'm disassembling the unit, I've noticed that the plastic seems to be trying to come apart in my hands. Since I know no one makes a new heater box to fit my car, how long were these heater boxes used in the Darts & Valiants? As...

    My 64 Dart GT Convertible, found on a car lot in Durham, NC via Facebook Marketplace - driven by a friend, and then bought over the phone, and delivered to me in Clarksville, Tennessee.
