Sorry for hijacking this conversation. On the bottom side of the dash are two studs that hang down. This is what secures the A/C vents to the bottom of the dash.
Hello,
Just came across your post. This is not the easiest task but it's not too bad to do if you are willing to remove some stuff first. First step, remove your front bench seat. Your back will thank you later. The easiest way with the least amount of grief is to remove the vents under the...
Hello friends, where can I find kick panels for a '71 Dart that allows for 6" round speakers and allows the vent door to open all the way?
I have seen 4" round speakers and the 4" x 6" speaker option but those do not all the vent door to open without interference.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks for the photos. It does look like a great piece. I just noticed my tuner knob is not moving the needle back and forth. I need to investigate this before I sink money into a radio that may not work now.
I don't have a solid answer for you on that. My car is a '71 Dart Swinger and through my rebuild I have discovered that many parts from the '70 Darts are interchangeable with the '71 Darts. I also know some of the parts from the Scamp, Darts, and Valiant are interchangeable through each other...
If you have a '71 Dart then a '70 Dart should be the same. Those two years of Darts are nearly identical in features. One difference I can think of this the rear bumper. The number of tail light openings is different from year to year.
Hello,
I'm looking for black radio knobs in good condition for a '71 Dart with AM Radio. I also need the nuts to secure it to the dash. I have one knob that was molded wrong on the back edge and appears to wobble when turning it. Attached is a photo of my radio. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
Do you have any other photos of your radio? Does it have the fastening nuts on it? I might be interested in it if it is in good working condition and the chrome buttons are in good shape.
Hello,
I will tell you from personal experience that these pieces are hard to find no matter what color you have. I have a few wood grain sets and none of them match if you laid them out in a line. Not sure why unless different factories used different options. I wish you luck and if I keep...
Thanks again for looking. The color of your speedometer gage is the color I'm looking for so if you come across a radio bezel, glove box cover, or spacer that are that color let me know. If they are in good condition I may be interested.
Thank you so much for the photos and information. I have my glass removed now. Instead of removing the stud for the adjustment I simply lifted my vent window frame straight up and off the stud. This allowed the adjustment to stay in the proper location without disturbing it. I just finished...
If you are able to find those photos, you can email them to: [email protected] if you have time. Would love to see them. Especially the door glass items.
I can not see your photos clearly for some reason. They look blurry and say something about "photobucket" on them. Do you have these photos available elsewhere to see?
Sorry RMS492 if I ruined your day. If you can get that kind of money for your bezel then I commend you. I've seen these bezels (although not often) on EBAY for much much less and were new or at least looked new. Just like yours does. It's a great looking piece.

This is exactly what I need for my car but I am not willing to part ways with $300. I'm sure my offer to you would not be a reasonable offer in your eyes. At least I know there is one out there that appears to be a factory bezel. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for looking. I have a full set of bezels but the wood grain does not match across the dash. The speedometer bezel is one color and the others are darker in color and the wood grain is the not the same. I'd like them to all be the same as the speedometer if possible. One other thing, I...
Hello,
Just to let you know that I don't sign in to FABO on a regular basis and am not sure how the PM option works. I'm not even sure what PM means to be honest with you. With that said, I am interested in any information regarding the doors and how to remove the glass and vent window frame...
I have been through this whole ordeal with my '71 Dart Swinger. In March/April of 1971 they changed the distance of the little locking ears on the gas caps making them further away from the inside of the cap. Consequently, when you spin the cap to tighten it, the locking ears just glide over...
Hello, I have a '71 Dart and have been reading about the Borgeson steering box. I have a 318 with TTI headers. Will this fit my car without any mods? Do you have any contact information outside this website?
Hello everyone,
I just joined this site today and really don't know how to navigate too well yet so I apologize for that.
I've got a 1971 Dart Swinger that I've converted from drum to disc brakes on the front and swapped out the rearend too. I did this for the sake of having disc brakes and...
