    Cable for fuel cap retention?

    That's a cunning Idea, more elaborate than I was thinking, but it has got me thinking.

    Cable for fuel cap retention?

    Somehow I doubt my cap would dangle and bang around anymore than the cap on my Town and country, and the chance of me not seeing it hanging there when hoping in to drive is equally remote, but I have left a cap on a petrol pump (there when I got back) and on the roof slid off and damaged on...

    Cable for fuel cap retention?

    Has anyone secured their standard twist on fuel cap with a cable, to stop light fingered folk taking them, or just losing them?

    Anyone use a factory rod to support their glass hood?

    Don't want the weight of springs either

    Anyone use a factory rod to support their glass hood?

    Anyone used a hood support rod and clips from another car, to support the glass hood on their a-body. Was thinking of trying one from a blazer, chime in if you've used anything else that works.

    Duster lower rear quarter patch panels, who makes them?

    Hi everyone. Looking for a good quality lower patch panel for the back of my left rear quarter, and the front of my right rear quarter. Hopefully one that goes right down to the rocker panel seam with drains. Who makes good repro pieces?

    Fender to shock type bumper brackets 75 duster Right and left?

    Well I guess it's good news but still prefer the rod style braces the earlier cars had.

    Fender to shock type bumper brackets 75 duster Right and left?

    Hi guys, can anyone out there tell me if there are meant to be two different, i.e. a left and right version of the bracket that goes from the bottom front of the fenders to the shock style bumper brackets. My 75 appears to have 2 of the same, which doesn't look right to me. or was this some kind...

    Is 20 gauge OK for general body patches?

    Down here paint was crap in the 60's and the 70's even the early 80's, but the 70's cars rusted out faster than the 60's, especially Australian cars, some of that was structurally poor design, some was poor metal, all was poor paint. My first car was a Chrysler assembled Mitsubishi, it had a...

    Windshield replacement

    The factory recommended putting a non drying black mastic sealer in both the window side channel and body side channels of the rubber. I had a windscreen shop replace mine dry once and it leaked, plus they scratched the paint and it lead to rust in the windscreen frame. I had even left them a...

    Dodge van door handles on an A-body?

    Just wondered, looks like they might work, maybe change the linkage. Just for a different look, and almost every a-body I've had, has had pitted chrome on at least one of the chrome door handles.

    Dodge van door handles on an A-body?

    Might seem like a silly thing to do, but has anyone tried to see if the later plastic door handles off the B-vans fit A-bodies?

    Is 20 gauge OK for general body patches?

    The metal on my 75 duster seems no thinner than my 69 dart, but as for the quality of the steel? I know the steel in my 79 F100 was very soft, especially noticeable in the bolts I would snap, half the body bolts in it were old dodge bolts in it by the time I sold it, figured something happened...

    Anyone found any since I posted this? All I've come across are the 1975 225 emission decals.

    Any one bond a factory snorkle scoop to a glass hood?

    That sounds like a physical challenge, which makes me want to do it even more now.

    Any one bond a factory snorkle scoop to a glass hood?

    What I'm talking about though is bonding a factory style demon/dart sport snorkle scoop to a glass hood, not a glass scoop to a steel hood. Has anyone done it?

    Any one bond a factory snorkle scoop to a glass hood?

    Title says it all, can it be done, I'd say yes although painting between scoop opening and hood might be tricky.

    Sport mirrors how do you pull them apart for painting?

    Reviving this thread... I managed to get the passenger mirror lens out, not with out a chip, though, but it wasn't perfect any way, and I can see why mirror is loose, easily fixed with a pop rivet, but danged if I can figure out now how to remove the ball joint stud from the housing, its pretty...

    Sport mirrors how do you pull them apart for painting?

    This is the only picture I have handy, but the base attaches with a screw same as drivers side, but internally mirror attaches very differently.

    Sport mirrors how do you pull them apart for painting?

    Yeah, I'm thinking the drivers side I have works well, so I can probably get away with careful masking and stripping, but the passenger side is loose as a goose, and its very different construction to the remote. I'm guessing the ball joint stud screws into the housing before the mirror glass is...

    Hood pin location

    These picture were supplied by other members, I have seen slight variations in these from exactly in front of the hood bumper to very slightly inward. I only have my 75 duster nowadays, and have never seem anything to suggest a factory hood pin location on any 73-76 dusters I've seen. Which...

    Crash Beam

    If you could totally remove the beams i.e. cut them out completely, the 73-76 door would be slightly lighter, not by much. The interior handle assembly and inner door framing is slightly lighter. Also if you swap doors you will need to swap to the 70-72 rear 1/4 window steel inner panels to...

    Sport mirrors how do you pull them apart for painting?

    Might seem like a stupid question, but before I go trying to pull my sport mirrors apart and damaging anything (remember I'm in the south pacific here = expensive and hard to get) are there any tricks to disassembly for repainting? Looks as if the mirrors were assembled and then painted by the...

    1975 360 4bbl emissions decal, where to get one?

    They seem to stop at 74 too, Vintage auto literature was the last place I saw have them, and they lost their stock in a fire.

    1975 360 4bbl emissions decal, where to get one?

    Hi guys, where do you find the emissions decal that goes on the inner fender for a 1975 duster 360? I see green '74s but haven't seen the blue '75 decals in a while. Anyone know who has them?

    Sound deadening in 1975?

    Nothing else on the car is any thinner than the '74 I had, but yeah the trunk lid almost sounds thinner, (hard to measure with the folded edges) and the sealant around the outside edge is like a modern car also. I've never owned a car this new, bar a '79 F100. I'm not complaining but the car...

    Sound deadening in 1975?

    Did something happen in 1975 to the sound deadening of the a-bodies? My '75 Duster trunk lid shuts and opens very easily with a quiet click, just like a modern car, doesn't have the normal hollow clunk I'm used to with my old mopars. It's not down to adjustment. Looking at it I can't see any...
