It’s important to know your limits and also have a finely tuned BS sensitivity meter to minimize the chances of being fleeced.

Yeah it’s tough hearing about a built budget skyrocketing. Sometimes it’s the car owner not having/setting clear expectations with the shop and sometimes it the shop taking advantage of the car owner. And in the ugliest of scenarios, it’s both at the same time! With inflation what it is over...

Problem is your idea of what a quality paint job is likely different from mine and likely different from the OP. And while the OP might have intentions of building a 20 or 30 footer, it’s likely that once he’s into the job, he will want a 10 footer which will jack up the project cost part way...

Based on what you’ve shared I wish you a lot of luck! Body work (even with minimal rust) and paint is going to be several thousand $. Depending on how fresh (rebuilt or not?) the V8 and transmission is you drop in along with new rear end/gears, new brakes and then interior, I’m not sure...

Got it. Do you have the drivetrain items already? What sort of suspension setup?

What’s your overall budget (drivetrain, suspension, brakes, interior) for the entire build (not just your body/shell acquisition)?

One of the first hits I get on google when I enter 1974 tail light bezel is this: NOS OEM Ford 1974 1975 1976 Torino Tail Light Chrome Bezel Lens LH | eBay is this what you are after? I’m making an assumption you might be looking for a Dart bezel? If so, you’d be looking for a 74 to 76...

Will those parts off a 1970 slant 6 or a 318 Duster work too?

The good news is they were the same on a 4 door Valiant from ‘74 to ‘76 so that opens up the numbers available. The Dart had a different style (both lenses and chrome) so don’t look at those.

Correct post #7 above shows a 2bbl kick-down rod. Post #16 in this thread shows the difference between the 2bbl and 4bbl rods: [WANTED] - 4-bbl kick-down rod

:popcorn:

I’ll ask a rookie 6 pack or 6 barrel question.... is there a difference between the 340 air cleaner assembly (base, filter and lid) and the 440 air cleaner assembly?

318/340 motor mounts are the same on the passenger side but different on the drivers side. A quick search on this site will outline the difference on the drivers side. There have been a few recent threads on it.

Yup, the Plymouth Valiant Brougham model was new for 1974 and available in 2 and 4 door models. It would look like this:

Not sure if the Dodge front plate bracket is the same as the Plymouth bracket? This thread has the part number for the Plymouth bracket: [Found!] - 75 Duster front license plate bracket

Hopefully you’re successful as a lot of them were driven quite hard and put away wet, especially 15 years later.

I think those are the ones in the engine bay from the cowl to the fenders.

The rear quarter patch panel for a ‘75 Dart (not Dart Sport) will be a perfect fit for a ‘75 Valiant or Scamp.

In the past few months there have been several wanted threads for the kickdown rod. Best to do a search to get the details. Most are in need of a 4bbl rod as they are upgrading from a 2bbl. The length of rods and geometry is different between a 2bbl and a 4bbl rod so which one do you need...

Your looking for this piece: Here’s the difference between the 2bbl rod and the 4bbl rod in terms of length and geometry:

You can also broaden your search to 1975 as it was the same grille except for the marker light lenses being clear instead of orange/yellow.

Good luck with the search as those are rare and pricey when on the market! Is your GTS a 4spd or Auto?

Please let us know if it works. I’ll be interested to know if a 318 drivers side exhaust manifold heat stove fits on a later 340 drivers side exhaust manifold as well.

Year and engine would be helpful too?

1976 was the first and last year of the Dart Dart Light and Plymouth Feather Dusters.

I emailed Edelbrock a few years ago asking about when the LD4B was produced and they said from 1967 to 1981.

The asking price of LD4B intakes appears to have gone up over the past few years! They are rarely listed for less than $225 without needing a lot of work. It is a good intake though. I’m glad I bought mine about 4 years ago.

Good question. New ones go for $200 but since he says driver quality, I think it’s used.

Didn’t the 70 MY have no warning lights like this one?

I think if you’re concerned about the 7 1/4 packing it in, I think you should also be concerned about your car being t-boned or in another type of accident caused by another driver. The odds of an accident are higher than the 7 1/4 packing it in. What’s your back up plan for the accident so...
