72 Duster Resurrection
Well i let my fingers do the walking in houston area junkyards this morning. The websites are clunky and slow, the people i did call were rude to me, and when asked if they knew of a yard who had those parts, they said, no!!!
I guess i'm used to it here where people are friendly, and if they dont have what you need, they will happily point you in the direction you need to go to get what you need. If fhe rest of that town is that way, i will never visit.
I can see now why you would want to do a scary bird conversion. Duster captain, if you decide on mopar parts and M body brakes, come on out to abilene after my back is healed up, like late november, and i will take you out to our big boneyard for some M body brakes. We will have to pull them ourselves. I have a spare set of M body rotors that have been turned on a brake lathe, and coated with cosmoline so they dont rust, i upgraded to 12" cordoba rotors and caliper brackets so i dont need them. i can sell those to you fairly cheap, all you would need to do is clean and repack the wheel bearings in them and put in new dust seals.
We can pull the rest from an M body car in the salvage out here. Without the rotors they will probably want $50-$75 for everything. Calipers, caliper brackets, dust shields, spindles. Stop at my local bolt place and get the grade 8 bolts and nuts, or if you come up on a saturday, i can get the bolts and nuts ahead of time for you.
My local yard lets me drive my pickup truck up and down the rows and i work off the tailgate. Makes it easier when buying stuff especially when its 10 acres of stuff.
Let me know if your game to do this. If you get the parts now while you can, they dont go bad sitting in the corner of your garage or storage shed until you can rebuild and use them.
