    [WANTED] Dodge truck steering wheel

    @cudamark - thanks for clarifying. Not into 4whl drives so have little to no experience.

    Almost lost a wheel

    I read the info banzaibullit submitted from Maximum Motorsports. It does seel to describe spacers which use the same lug studs as the wheel. My adapters bolt to the existing drum/axle and have five additional lugs that the wheel bolts to. My question is if an adapter has the same lug pattern for...

    [WANTED] Dodge truck steering wheel

    I don't agree on different splines between 2wd and 4wd in any Dodge pickup from '72 - '93. Spline wise even passenger car steering wheels of the same years can be used. Do you want something you can use or a '74 specific, restoration correct, steering wheel ? Color preference ?

    Thank you all for the comments. Adapters are not, and never have been, my first choice. But it can be difficult to justify the cost of a BBP upgrade to a car that has limited value and desirability in the marketplace. A car that I've been trying to sell since the day after I purchased it. At a...

    @junkyardhero - I'm certainly guilty of the "temporary use" thought process regarding adapter use. It's now been five years an approx 80K miles of use on this vehicle.

    Seem to be two distinct groups of thought on here. It's all the adapters fault and the substandard installation crowd. To the adapters are bad crowd, even though the adapter didn't fail, I say I agree 1000% To the group who fault my substandard installation, with inappropriate shortcuts taken...

    Almost lost a wheel

    Thanks to all who contributed to a spirited discussion. My plan of action is to switch the left hand side to 7/16 R/H threads so I can use the adapter manufacturers larger conical seat nuts to hold spacers to drum and rear axle. Will also use locktite on those larger conical seat nuts, properly...

    Almost lost a wheel

    @)72bluNblu - the seat angles on the 7/16 RH lug nuts supplied with adapters are much broader than the angled seat on the factory lug nuts. This has caused me concern since the day first installed. Agree, that true cause/causes can only be speculated upon. Prior to this vehicle, wheels and...

    @ RustyRatRod - Agree on feeling both lucky and blessed. Its the shear factor that's giving me concern. I'd have more confidence in using/reusing these if lug nuts had backed off rather than sheared off.

    It should be noted the other three wheels/adapters are still as snug as when installed.

    @moplvr166 - I wondered about dynamic loading. My favorite on ramps are sweeping right handers that would likely add stress to left front hub/drum assembly given my enthusiastic driving style.

    Agree on the older cast aluminum versions. But until now I've not had any trouble with the newer billet ones. Though I must admit my confidence is a bit shaken. This wheel/adapter combo has just under 80K miles on them since backyard resurection.

    Almost lost a wheel

    I'm using modern billet adapters on my SBP drums to run BBP wheels. Car developed a vibration and this is what I found on left front. 3 of the 5 lug studs had sheared off. Nuts on sheared lugs do no appear to have backed off prior to failing. Because I could not buy LH thread lug nuts with the...

    [WANTED] .87 or .89 torsion bars wanted for 65 Barracuda

    Others who commented on interchangability are correct. ALL "A" body bars are interchangeable from '60 - '76. I like your choice of diameter if you have a front sway bar also. Without one, I'd buy the aftermarket 1.03 dia. Not a recommendation but rather my preference. But I don't mind a little...

    [WANTED] Early A Dodge Horn Center Cap

    @halfafish - A100's used the o-ring gasketed type used on the early "A" bodies. I have one from a Dart that will fit but is not identical to the face graphics of your original A-100 center. You can PM for pic if no better options show up.

    [WANTED] Looking for a 1976 A-body A38 police certified speedometer

    Oooh thats a rare one. I'm curious if anyone has one ! There is a rectangular "C" body 140 mph speedo ('68-'70? ) that can be trimmed down to fit. Not an exact swap but 140 mph vs 120 mph on the "A" body one. Somewhere there's a Duster, maybe on FABO if it still exists, with this conversion I...

    [WANTED] Need stock 318 flywheel for 70 dart

    Is the correct flywheel for this application a 130T ring gear type ? I checked the Brewers listings but seemed to indicate 122T and that did not sound right to me. Thinking and knowing are two different things.
