    Is there a particular modern seat that one can plug and play in these bolt holes? I need a seat that reclines and I don't mind if it doesn't match. I don't mind a seat cover. I am just an too tall and uncomfortable. 68 Newport convertibles.

    Rear differential gasket question

    On my 68 Newport I want to change the rear diff gasket. I have a fsm on disk but had to order an external cd reader to view it. In the meantime is it just as simple as taking off the ten bolts or so and lowering the driveshaft and that whole front unit? I just want to swap the gasket and fluid only.

    Let's see your Newports

    I literally have like 2 inches on either end of the car in the garage. In the winter I have to sneak through the car to get to stuff on the other side of the garage when I don't want to open the garage door lol. My Chevy traverse is as big as a Tahoe on the inside and I can walk completely...

    68 Newport, can the wheels be moved back?

    All fair points. The wheels work. Had them for quite a while now. It's just really close for comfort and even a small adjustment would be beneficial. I'll consider next steps, just wanted to see options, which I know now.

    68 Newport, can the wheels be moved back?

    I don't disagree they are the wrong offset. I came across then and am trying to make them work without spending another 1500
