I ordered them myself. On both front and rear shocks, other than length, every other dimension of the KYB's was somewhere from 2/3 to 3/4 of the factory Ford shocks. Even the rubber grommets for the top of the front shocks were barely big enough to not pull through the mounting holes. Once...

Would probably be a bit of a risky adventure to bring this back home to PA. Looks like a 1977, not a '79. 1979 Dodge Ram Van 3500 · Van Jeff

About ten years ago I installed the silver KYB shocks on a customer's Ford Expedition. Right out of the box they appeared undersized compared to the original shocks on the truck. Within 6 months they were bouncier than the 320K mile originals that I took off. I don't like the silver KYB's and...

Yes, that whole area is open behind the upper firewall panel. That rust is quite common from leaves, or worse, pine needles, collecting in the cowl. The good news is those rust holes don't cause water to get in the interior, unlike the B and E cars where the rot is usually on the inside panel...

Rock Auto has a closeout on the correct switch right now: More Information for FAMOUS BRAND WTA1137 There's two ways to accomplish your goal. 1. If it's small enough, move the gauge sender to the small factory hole that Big John pointed out, or find a small diameter sender that will work...

The design of the lower ball joints is completely different between the two cars. I don't believe anyone has ever posted any information on trying to install a formal lower control arm on a slab car. That would be the only way that the swap would work. Both cars use the same upper ball...

Yes. Spring Special, or regular interior, if you ordered a front bench seat in a 1968 300 you got Newport upholstery, or more likely Newport Custom upholstery. If you ordered leather buckets in a 300, you got New Yorker upholstery. Jeff

The car looks very nice in the photos. The vinyl top appears to have the correct grain, and could be original. Chrysler's vinyl seats in the 1960's usually started splitting at the seams by the time a car had 50K miles on it, so if you don't have any splits, it's likely the seats have been...

I believe that's a "Spring Special" color, along with the turquoise and white interior. Jeff

I'm leaving on Sunday to head down there. I bought a '72 Fury wagon from CTC 1-1/2 years ago that I have to pick up before they completely shut down the business. I also bought a 1980 St. Regis out of a yard in Abilene, TX. that I have to bring home. Not really looking forward to the trip...

There are a few Chryslers in the auction, along with some Dodge vans. Most vehicles are in pretty rough condition. I suspect everything is going pretty cheap. The '69 Newport looks like it has a good windshield. Car could sell for less that the value of the glass. CTC Auto Ranch Public...

The only license plate frame I've ever had on a car. It's an old scanned photo, so it's not very clear. It's a Direct Connection frame, back in the 1980's. Jeff

It's normal for the pushrod to be loose in the booster. It just sits in place. I just finished battling a hard brake pedal problem at work with a 1964 GTO. That turned out to be a combination of poorly designed aftermarket calipers and a defective proportioning valve. Since your '72 wagon...

That's the one I was thinking of. Jeff

If you are referring to the brown '72 New Yorker coupe, it has been discussed here a little while back. Jeff

Looks like Magnum 500's are a no-go with Budds: https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/magnum-500-wheel-issues.60148/

You're right. Stud faces up, but ball joint is still on spindle side, but not control arm side. My mistake. It's been a while since I've worked on any of my cars. Jeff

The 67 Chrysler spindles are very different and won't work. The lower ball joint stud on the Chrysler faces down and is on the spindle assembly. The Imperial lower faces up and is on the lower control arm. '74-'78 C body spindles may work. Small bolt pattern pickup or van may work too, if...

I didn't have very good luck with a Steer & Gear box that I installed in a customer's 1970 Challenger. The first rebuild drove decent, but the box started leaking with less than 100 miles on it. I sent it back under warranty, and the second time around I don't think they put it back together...

Be sure to check facebook marketplace. The last guy looking for the same glass found one for sale pretty close to his house. Jeff
