Well, FABO.... It was fun while it lasted, but I finally found my Isuzu Pickup. So, the Duster has to go down the road... The Good: Body is pretty solid, sans a few cancer spots here and there, as it was a desert car all its life. Also, I'd figure about a 70% good condition Boca interior (some...

After fifteen years of not having the money, the time, the resources, or the access to her, my late father's '70 Roadrunner has been unearthed and is washed and waiting for me to return to her, and finish what Dad started.... Originally a 383 auto car with a blue bench interior. However, Dad...

TESTING THE WATERS... El Paso area, '76 318 Silver Duster... I found a dream car of mine for a very affordable amount recently; think of it as if you had a '77 Aspen or something and came across a near-mint <insert your favorite A-bod here>, with the biggest baddest engine, and is just out of...

Looking to see how 235/60r14 would look on a 14x8" wheel... If I can, I may go thicker just to get a good bulgy fatty-look in the back... Cuz Mopars deserve big fat tires in the back <3 Thanks, - CK

D32 trans code (hamtramck doesn't show anything for that code on a '76 Duster).... Problems: Hard clunky shift into reverse (resulting in entire car shaking, and also will often kill it if the brakes are locked or the p-brake is on) with other gears being stiff, but not what I'd consider a hard...

Warning: Military rant... So my platoon abandoned me for this current deployment; stuck me on Rear D and gave me a desk to guard from terrorists. I'm not broken (on profile) and am one of the more higher-motivated Soldiers in this entire division (1st Armored = Worst unit in FORSCOM, straight...

Good guy alert: MObodyman Will leave specifics out for brevity purposes, suffice to say he is a great and trustworthy FABO'er. Will be doing business with him again in the future. :) - CK

Previous owner stuffed some sort of rubber stopper in the drain hole, was hoping it was just a lost bolt... Put new bolt in, it won't tighten. My luck, P.O. stripped the :cussing:. Ripped the old rubber stopper, can't reuse it (came out as one piece, but is ripped very badly and would only be...

http://www.jamestownsun.com/event/article/id/178293/publisher_ID/10/ North Dakota sure knows how to organize a fundraiser! :) Also, runners are not required to drink alcoholic beverages; they can drink water or soda. Relay for Life ain't got **** on Jamestown, ND's Running O' The Green...

So my car blows white smoke quite a bit when cold, but once warmed up the smoke is greatly reduced but is still present. Also, it stinks... I thought at first maybe a head gasket, but oil and coolant are separate (no signs of crossing at all). Also, if it is burning oil, it is burning a VERY...

Looking around at exhaust options, wondering if there's a certain header that would bolt to a '76 A-body 318 without major modification (or any modification)... Thanks, - CK

Trying to source 2x 14x6 or 7 and 2x 14x8 with 5x4.5 bp slot mags, any brand, don't need center caps yet but they are a plus... Any condition, so long as they aren't chewed-up and out of round and etc. A few nicks and dings here and there are perfectly fine, they aren't going on a show car...

Not mine, just spied this sweet hunk of steel on Craigslist. El Paso area. http://elpaso.en.craigslist.org/cto/3581252285.html - CK

Made this thread because I've seen a few bad seller threads but few good seller threads... My first transaction on FABO was for a speedometer and cable. Got one from a user called Moparparts. Great price, excellent used condition parts, and wonderful packaging! The thing came in two boxes...

So I figured I'd start one of these... Dunno why, haven't really done anything spectacular to her yet.... Rundown: Really, I want her more reliable than pretty for now... My plan is to throw a few bucks at it every paycheck until it resembles something worthwhile... Since I'm a body guy, I...

So, looking at getting wheels and tires for the Duster with my tax refund... Currently equipped: Stock steelies, 14x? Front: 185/75 Rear: 225/70 (preferred) and 215/75 (old) I would really like to go with a set of slot mags (Ansen Sprint), but the 14's seem to be few and far between... My...

So I got the plates for my car and some cards with gas money in them. Further, work ends at 1500hrs (3:00pm) every Thursday for what our post commander calls "Family Time." Also, tonight is PAYDAY!!! Gonna go drive my car to the PX and get me a haircut and a bunch of booze and go drive around...

Need one. Been trying to fix my current one, but it's not working. Just gonna break down and buy one. Also need speedo cable, if available... Thanks, - CK

A gate broke at the White House, and a congressman took on the challenge of trying to find the right gate repairman for the job... The first repairman said, "I can do it for 700 dollars; that includes 300 in parts and 400 in labor to feed myself and my crew." The second repairman said, "I can...

So I got under the car to better access the fuel filter a few days ago, and eventually got to assessing the rest of the under-car area, including the dented-up oil pan (will need a new one, probably toss it on with the next oil change). I noticed that my bell housing was "open..." Literally, I...

Decided to move the thread over here, since my problems are no longer with the engine... As one could tell by my other pic posts, my wipers are ALL jacked up! One's pointing up and the other is against the cowl, and neither want to move even just one smidge-o-meter and the switch is dead. I've...

Figured I'd make a community thread for this.... Post your fender codes, and those more knowledgeable can decode them for you! Yeah, I tried googling and searching the site... The tag decoder I found told me my '76 Duster 318 was a '68 Duster 383 4bbl (oh how I wish)..... So here's a pic of...

So this is a short list of parts I'll need. I will be updating it as things break or are discovered. For now, though, this is just a list of things I need. 1. R-side taillight bezel (can trade a L-side, since some brilliant mechanic turned an L-side upside-down for the R-side) 2. Sport-style...

So I just got the car, and drove it across the city back to post. Noticed a few things: 1. A quite prominent vibration that comes up during acceleration (higher speeds, why I didn't notice it when test-driving), and goes away when you let off the gas... 2. Backfiring and chugging, seems like a...

Not sure where this should go, haven't seen a show-off thread yet, so I figured I'd start one... This thread exists for the sole purpose of showing off your Duster. So, post up some pics!! - CK Can't seem to get to any of my 5 pics at the moment, so I can't really post one just yet. Will...

'76 Duster, 318, decent body, terrible paint... Just made the deal today, planning on picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait to start cutting the bad single-stage down. Gotta find an electric DA, since the Army won't let me keep 30gal compressors in the barracks...... ;) - CK
