From the pics it looks as though the body is pretty decent although there are trouble areas that don't present themselves unless close inspection. The rot above the windshield would dictate a possible long term water leaks that affect the cowl sides and may already be underway in rotting the...

CRC, the border is a raised edge or 'lip' if you will. I've thought about a decal die cut to size and placed within the lip. It would not lay completely flat though because The 'VALIANT' letters are raised or embossed creating an uneven surface. Studying the emblem, it originally appears that...

I believe repro 70-71 Duster tail light assemblies were just introduced late last year. A full factory torsion bar crossmember would be nice for the resto guys. AMD offers one for B's and one for E's. An A-body crossmember would be their next logical offering. Though it's not too difficult...

I don't think the term unpopular applies to the A Body. The A Body generally out sold any of Chrysler's other models in most given years, easily reaching six figure production numbers. Granted most of those units were the garden variety slantys and 318's but there is no denying the A's styling...

Car was only 12 years old when you acquired it. Even if it was 28 years ago, maybe there is a previous owner or two indicated on surviving paperwork that you can track down for additional history on it as well. It's a long shot but occasionally, "back in the day" photos may surface as well as...

Good lookin' 70 H-code there and a reasonable price but I would use caution bidding on this one. Fender tag indicates FY1 (Lemon Twist) but the supposedly original window sticker says V2 (Hemi Orange).:roll:

With this particular Duster, I would agree that it would have to touch the 30's again to maintain it's BJ-ness but I'm not sure about 38k, as previously sold. But it's still a nice 3 pedal H code and they aren't rollin' out of Hamtramck anymore. Indeed, decent paint jobs these days cost an arm...

Well, an "authentic" restoration it is not. '71 paint scheme, painted dual mirrors, exhaust tips, incorrect battery. I'm stunned it reached the drunken price of 38k last year. If it hasn't sold already, I would guess a more realistic 18-22k range, depending on condition. The FC7 '71 4 speed...

Thanks for the pics Whitey for those of us that couldn't be there.:thumbup: Any 70 Duster 340's or 70 Swinger 340's in the dealership display?

70 Duster 340: Radio - thumbwheel type. Turndown Exhaust tailpipes - no chrome tips. no dual body color Rallye mirrors, just a single, drivers side chrome, and offered late, dual chrome mirrors. Light argent colored 10 hole Rallye wheel centers. 340 came with a Carter AVS Four Barrel carb...

A51 is the fender tag code for the 71-74 Duster Twister package. Incidentally, A59 is the code for the 71-72 Demon Sizzler package, the counterpart to the Plymouth's Twister.

Super nice but not at that crack pipe price. I could live with those seats though, loud as they are. The hood stripe treatment looks odd. The spacing down the center between the blocks is a bit wide.

Nice score. I love the first gen regular cab 4x4's

Plymouth's counterpart to the Demon Sizzler was the Duster "Twister" package.

Yeah super neat find. Lots of nice, rust free metal on there. 8 3/4 rear? Was that the standard rear on the 318 Sizzlers and Twisters? Looks like the original rear end in the photo.

George, I have never performed the SBP to LBP swap but if I were to, I'd probably go with the 73 MC. Whether the larger bore is a factor I can't say but it makes sense to keep the brake system components consistent as with the appropriate proportioning valve. Here's a couple of of MC application...

The only Darts that begin creeping into 80k level are the truly unique 68 S/S Hemi Darts (and Barracudas for that matter). This M code is nice but not 80k nice. Those are dealer prices. I clicked the link and realized I had been to that site once or twice over the past couple years (MacLean...

Congrats as well! That Duster looked like a good buy. Late build car to boot. Welcome to FY1 70 Duster 340-4 spd owners club.:toothy10: I own one as well.

The same or even less. Once they crack the 30's, it better be a super correct restoration or an ultra clean, low mileage survivor. For a 38k 70 Duster 340 4 spd, I better be hearing 'Mama Told Me Not To Come' by Three Dog Night mysteriously blasting from the car like 'Not Fade Away' in the movie...

What I'd really like to know is....in 1970 did All Dusters use the VALIANT fender emblem? (with 2 pegs).....I'm looking for a pair of NOS ones.... Thanks All the 70 Dusters I've seen over the years have the VALIANT fender emblems. Chrysler press photos and the road test cars show them as...

Yeah, I miss them on my 3rd gen Ram.

You sure it's a from a 67 R/T My68? I could be wrong but I thought the 70-74 E-Bodies had the only space saver spares from the factory and all the rest always received the full size spares.

The Hamtramck Registry also has an extensive Build Sheet lost and found section. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/index.shtml

Received my MCR today as well. Nice photos. You have a fine example the Duster 340 breed! Incidentally, if my hazy memory of the 2 years of German I took in high school serves me well, Schwartzwald means Black forest in German. Useless information, I know...Lol. Come to think of it, my...

x3 on the factory service manual. A factory parts catalog for your year mopar is also an indispensable reference book. Both can easily be found used or in reprint book form/CD - PDF format. As mentioned, these forums (FABO, Moparts) are an excellent resource for real world experience with our...

There are so many of all makes I'd buy but I'll just Quantum Leap for a few Mopars for now: First and foremost, order my 70 Duster 340 new just the way it was equipped originally - 4 speed, buckets, sure grip, manual steering and brakes, Y1 Yellow (although J5 Green, F8 Green, A4 Silver or...

Unfortunately, with the exception of the Lil Reds, Warlocks, some of the one off specials, and the Power Wagons, the 1st gen Rams don't bring the bucks or the luv like the other brands do even though the Rams were just as stout if not downright better engineered than the others. A no rust 86...

Interesting. A stripe delete 73 340. Don't see that too often. Personally, I feel the lighter color Dusters look better sans vinyl top, darker colors are complimented with the vinyl top. I had a T9 Chestnut metallic 74 Dart Sport that looked good with the black vinyl roof. Ultimately, it is...

I bought that book late last year as a xmas present to myself. Highly recommended. Great read on the history of all of Chrysler engines. Lots of hardcore specs, photos and development info from the engineering perspective. A little pricey but it should be available at the local public library...

DartSportDude, there may be some useful/interesting info at the MMC Detroit website, not just paint marks but other stuff as well. The B's and E's get most of the ink as usual but some of the info can fall in the general Mopar area. http://www.iccahome.org/
