5 years, countless man hours and gobs of fun. I’m Ross and this is the story of my 1970 Plymouth Duster build. I purchased the car in Fond Du Lac, WI in the fall of 2009. (My sophomore year of college) I’d always dreamed of owning a ’69 Dodge Charger R/T but on a Milwaukee’s Best budget, I...

Was at the local demo tonight and saw this! A relatively straight 1969 Oldmobile Cutless painted in the Hurst motif and sporting really nice original keystone wheels. I'm a die hard Mopar guy but even this was a little hard to stomach... Didn't last long (motor issues) so unfortunately it...

Hey A-Body Nation My Nitto 555 tires came in the other day. I love these tires! I am getting ready to measure for wheels soon but want to run my intentions by you before ordering. The tires have been mocked up using the wheel simulator tool. Rears will work fine but the fronts are a little...

Hello A-Body Nation I have a '70 Duster that came with factory single air & heat. (Fender Tag Code H51) I have another box from a '70 Duster which is non-A/C (I only have the box). I want to swap the non-A/C box in place of the factory A/C unit. I have already purchased the DMT rebuild...

Hey A-Body Nation I'm putting the finishing touches on my 410 sb stroker and have polished fabricated valve covers ready to install. I'm curious what brand/material of valve cover gaskets people have had the best luck with? Summit has a bunch of brands listed with materials ranging from...

Hello A-Body Nation Just wanted to post some pictures of how we worked around the clearance issues posed with the slip tube on my new set of TTI ceramic coated headers. I'm in the process of prepping my '70 Duster for paint and before it see's the booth, we wanted to make sure everything fit...

Hello A-Body Nation I'm looking to get some quality hood pins for my fiberglass hood and stumbled upon the Quik-Latch hood pin system. Although spendy, this looks like a great set up. They look slick and don't have the traditional pins or lanyards that could scratch the paint. Has anyone...

Hey all I had a friend direct me to the XV Motorsports website and while skimming through their products I found a lower radiator support kit. It looks like a good idea and good investment for a car that will see aggressive street and strip driving. What do you think...

Hey gang, I'm at a crossroads in deciding which rear suspension set up best suites my needs. What I have: 1970 Duster with a 410 Stroker (all forged internals) making 500hp/550 ftlb. Planning to run a 150 shot of Nitrous down the road. Built TorqFlite 727 Dana 60 w/ 3.73...

For Sale: 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Ralley Dash The overall condition is not the greatest but it is a Ralley dash! I was told by a fellow FABO member, this came from a '68 Cuda. If it fits other models - I do not know. The pictures show it all. Comes with gauges with good lenses. No wiring...

For Sale: Plymouth Duster Shark Tooth Grille Not the prettiest piece as the pictures show but with some TLC it could make a decent grille. I inherited this grille with a parts car and have no use for this. (I prefer the look of the 1970 Duster standard grille and headlights to the Shark...

I'm beginning to align the front fenders and the other body panels on my 1970 Plymouth Duster. I need the fender washers and the shim kit, but I'm having problems finding them. Are these kits specific to the car model and is this something the local NAPA or CarQuest would carry? I need the...

Quick question for the professionals out there. I have a later model A-Bod K-member set up (disk brakes) that was used for a 360 but now I want to install a stroker 340. (418 c.i.) Can I reuse the same engine mounts? Will it bolt up the same? Let me know what you know!

Hey all, I'm planning on swapping my 360 with a 418 (340 based) stroker. The transmission I have is a built up 727 and I'd like to stick with it. Now as far as I know, the engine mounts are the same and the 727 should bolt up. Unfortunately that's about all I know. What are the physical...

Hey all, I'm a little confused here. I have a 70' Duster and am redoing the bushings and converting the steering from power to manual but have run into a road block. The K-member in the car has front disc brakes, which is making wonder if it's a later K-member. I have the manual steering...

Got the Duster back from the blaster today. (Enough money spent there.) But money well spent. Now I know where the original flaws are and where the bondo was more than generously applied. The carnage is not too bad, but there is still carnage. I need a new driver's side rear lower quarter panel...

I'm looking to dump a small fortune on a harmonic damper for my externally balanced 360. I have a line on a BHJ damper that's SFI approved and includes the counterweights and everything. I just don't know much about the brand and was wondering how they would compare to a company like ATi? Give...

Hey all, Have the '70 Duster stripped down to her skivies and getting ready for blasting and primer. But I noticed that the two pins that hold each hood hinge onto the body are worn and could pose a problem down the road if not fixed now. Are there any replacement kits you can weld on or any...

I got what I need for my Duster so this one has to go! Pop's is getting mad that I'm taking up all his shed space! The listing tells all. Feel free to ask questions or critique, I'm a pretty resilient guy. I know someone can give her the love she needs...

Hey folks! Question is: Is it possible to have 727 tranny that can take 450 hp, 3800 stall, and 10.5 slicks all without gernading itself or the wallet? I've seen performance race rebuild kits with stronger bands and what not for around $200, but is it worth the money? Should I just buy a...

Is $100 a fair price on a set of used A body big bolt pattern axels? Let me know!

Is this rear end a Dana? The casting numbers I got say its from a 742 center section but the guy says it's a Dana rear and I think he's crazy.......I know someone knows better. Let me know

I know I caught the Mopar bug along time ago, and haven't been the same since. But what exactly is it about this brand that drives us guys (and gals) soooo incredicbly "plum" crazy?

I'm looking into buying a 8 3/4 center section from a 742 case for $100. The guy says its a 2.71 gear on the tag. I can't find that Chrysler used that ratio anywhere in their history of sure grip 8 3/4's. Someone enlighten me before I make a bad purchase!

I have a large bolt pattern 8.25 rear end in my Duster, sure grip with 3.91 gearing. Its a strong rear but I believe my small block is surpassing it's beef. Anyone have a decent estimate at what this is worth? Complete drum to drum.
