The wrap up on this installment of the DRK SD upgrades. Doors - Door/glass alignment, door seals (all the way from Norway), driver side door strap, driver side window regulator, both driver side and passenger side door lift gear. Heater box - Replaced all gaskets, heater core, evaporator...

It all depends on what you consider interesting. We have the Rivian auto plant, two college campuses, a windmill farm, good restaurants. If nothing else it would be fun to roll down Veterans Parkway with a heard of C bodies. If you choose to cruise veterans it should only take about 15...

Flipping the script here, would anyone who's coming to Volo have these parts to sell? I need two of each to reinstall the skirts on my 73 New Yorker Brougham. #21 - 3505509 plastic mounting bracket #22 - 6028934 thumb screw

CC Cooling (714) 264-4374 I believe they were formerly AC Global, they are out of California. I only purchased a condenser and evaporator from them but I know at least one other FCBO member did purchase a heater core from them. Look at the AC Global thread and the Meet Buttercup...

Picked up some trunk treats. Thank you to Marv for the color & trim book idea. Made two custom spare tire covers on Amazon and picked up a couple Chrysler brochures.

When I first posted pictures of my New Yorker plates, someone asked me if I was a Pontiac fan. Actually, it had nothing to do with Pontiac and everything to do with Pink Floyd.

The car looks great. I also use Griots, it’s good stuff. Please post pictures of the tour when you have time.

What a Great find! Thank you for posting. F8 Forest Green Metallic, F3 Amber Sherwood Metallic and X9 Formal Black are my top three. I would love to see my 73 New Yorker in any of those colors.

I live 10 minutes outside Bloomington/Normal. If you need any help with location scouting in this area let me know. I would also be interested in hearing possible starting times for Chicago.

Small set back with fixing the driver side window. After replacing the window lift gear (#747-411) and operating the door the new gear was damaged. It was determined that a new door regulator would be needed. A replacement door regulator was ordered from Murray Park along with a second window...

Your welcome. The picture is from Amazon, but they are everywhere. Just google one piece truck floor mat. Thank you for the information on your suspension bushings. I am currently in the process of having those bushings replaced and I'm glad to hear they make a noticeable difference. Would...

I just googled images of a 1965 Fury III. Your grandmother must have been a bit of a BAD A--. Original floor mats, door seals, washer bottles and bushings are all part of a C body owners holy grail. I have heard of people using modern truck floor mats with some success. Not OE but will give...

Luckily I have the right guy for the job! @davidhill

@davidhill sent pictures today that confirm the need for new bushings. Tuesday morning upper and lower control arm, strut rod and sway bar bushings will be ordered. Also KYB front shocks (KG4507) and Gabriel (81091) rear shocks have been ordered through Rock Auto. A big thank you to @ayilar...

Borgeson steering box & pump

After two days of driving buttercup I've decided to make a change in plans. My decision is based on the difference in "drive feel" between buttercup & DRK SD. I've spoken to @davidhill and we have decided to put the AC work on hold for now and focus on the front end suspension and rebuilding...

I'll start by saying I think there has been comparable work done on the front suspension of both cars. However one significant difference is buttercups work went all the way back to the bushings, DRK SD did not (rookie mistake). The noticeable difference in the ride was almost immediate. You...

And as an added bonus to the day’s events thanks to an extremely generous offer by ayilar “buttercup” will be spending a little time at my place

I am going to continue using this thread to talk about the updates to DRK SD 73. Today I dropped the car off at the @david hill spa. The list of projects include - 1 Rebuilding heater box/gaskets/new heater core 2 Air conditioning/drier /compressor/evaporator/hoses/ fittings 3 Align...
