All 'hind-sight' today but just another corporate decision leaving us to wonder why A-bodies were 'alienated' (from B's then later, E-bodies) - ie: SBP wheels, 9" brakes. (sigh) :soapbox:

- anything with a (redneck) blade on the front. :thumbsup:

Yes, LOL, but some shops such as on Graveyard Carz actually do engine/tranny swaps from underneath. But hood, of course, is off. :D

Did 'C'-bodies even have bucket seats? - if so, wouldn't be that style. Looks like the ribbed inserts are fabric and, wider than factory - so likely some custom tinkering. I'd still agree orig. from '70 - '72.

Me? I would easily choose the cloth headliner over the task of installing vinyl roof. I didn't think the roof rail metal trim had to come off - only the inside trim (to expose the rod clips and pointy 'hooks'). My 'gutted' Swinger covered up for (yet another) winter and too lazy to check it...

I'm not positive but it sure seems like the front section (pic 2) looks fairly snug but, second portion has some looser parts. If so, this would have been incorporated during the stitching together. Some further 'left-right' tensioning should take care of it.

Which would you guys suggest is more difficult to install - the solid or the cloth style? and, is it beyond the capability of 'enthusiast' to do his or her own? In other words, if j par can do it - - how about the rest of us? :(

My first notice was that they do not fold forward - so would not be from any 2-door car, and of course there were no 4-door 340 or larger Darts etc. :)

Judging from style of center, could it be late-sixties truck?

But, isn't that a Dodge symbol in center?

318 car? Stock (8.25") rear? Haven't you considered upgrading to later A-body (BBP) discs with larger axles in rear?

So do you have drums or discs in front? Still SBP or already converted to BBP? I only ask 'cause I'm still getting by with well-functioning 9" drums - but pondering a power booster (which I already have), but only 4 more days of driving until next spring. So, maybe just select Edit then...

I would ask why you are choosing to convert from power to manual? Isn't it usually the other way around? Front discs and or 10" drums? P.S. You cannot miss the Delete option. It should be available at the bottom-left of each of your entries.

Same thing for me. I posted somewhere maybe couple months back and best reply was to get custom made covers. Supposedly a place in Oregon could have my cloth material. My '69 also blue, but cloth and vinyl. If it was all vinyl there would be no damage (just dash pad and carpet). Today I...

Hopefully nobody sells (you or me) damaged goods. Most a person should have to do is to work in plenty of lithium type grease into the sliding mechanism, inspect and lube cables and coil springs and of course the threaded studs that attach thru the floor. Clamp stationary part of each bracket...
