72 duster Build progress

KRL said

Wow , Just wanted to say , I am brand new today to this site and man am I glad I joined . I have wanted to own a Mopar all my life , but never could afford one . I just picked this sweet car up about a week ago , joined this group , found your thread , and man I gotta tell you I am blown away with the amount of documentation and the time you have spent on this car . This is my very first Mopar , so I don't really know a lot about these cars , The car is absolutely beautiful in everyway . The only thing I would like to do is a rear end swap . As I would like to use the car for trips to Gatlinburg Tennessee . Any help from xMoparx would be greatly appreciated . as I am not a trader and WILL be keeping this car for a really long time .

Hope to hear from you soon

AWESOME!. I am glad to hear that someone ended up with it that will keep it and appreciate all of the hard work that I put into it over the years!.

If you have any questions about it feel free to PM me and I will tell you whatever you need to know. Or, you can use this thread for reference as I documented the build pretty thoroughly . I still have thousands of pictures set aside from the build from start to finish aswell.

I just visited Gatlinburg, TN earlier in the year. Beautiful area!. And yes I don't blame you for wanting to swap the rear end. The 4.56 in it was a very tall gear and not practical. I sold it before I was able to swap out the gears. I would deffinetly only swap the gears in it and not the entire rear end because the rear end itself has all of the best of the best internals in it!.

So glad to hear that someone got it that will enjoy it and keep it. If you do anything to the Duster please feel free to update this thread with your progress!, I think it would be awesome if the "72 Duster build progress" thread could continue on.

Feel free to message me when you get the chance.
