In the past couple days I've been looking to see where I can get new rear drums for my '67 Dodge Monaco. Drums all around, rear shoes are 2.5". Rock auto shows a few PN's (Dynamic friction, centric) but no stock. I call around locally and I give them some rock auto PN's for front and rear...

Are slab-era front drum knuckle/spindles interchangable (left-right) or are they side-specific?

Unless I'm not understanding this correctly, I don't see how you can adjust castor (on C-bodies? or any 60's - 70's mopar? Or in my case a slab). Looking at the wheels from the side of the car, you can't move the upper ball joint towards the front or rear of the car, and likewise for the lower...

That's the question. Why are the center caps so long when they don't need to be? I think the wheels would look a lot better if the center caps were half or even a third the length. I'm going to have some examples 3-D printed and see how they'd look. I finally have mounted a pair of...

1967 Monaco. Front stub replaced, steering gear moved to new stub. No alignment done (yet). Tie rod adjusters adjusted by eye. Upper control arm bolts tightened in center positions. All new bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, etc. Torsion bar height adjustments made. Front end has...

I've just finished installing UCA, LCA, T-bars, knuckle / brake backing plate / lower ball joint / shocks. T-bars are not loaded. But I notice now that the adjuster arms that come off the pivot shaft are not symetrical. In other words, I'd have to screw one of the adjuster bolts in quite a...

I'm just wondering what year did the pivot shaft lose the cotter pin. Below is an example: On the right, the shaft with the hole was original to my '67 Monaco. The refurbished LCA and shaft on the left is what I'm going with. I hadn't noticed the difference until now, maybe this can help...

I assume I can "extract" this seal (say, with an ice pick) without taking the unit apart? Similar to the transmission gear selector shaft seal? I see rockauto has about a dozen options for this seal. Too bad it's not included in this kit: I assume to put any of those o-rings to use...

I've disassembled my front spindles and backing plates in preparation to have them powder coated, and a long time ago I've been in this area before and have noticed a white foamy gasket in this area. DMT shows a white gasket, sort of looks like a 45 rpm record that sits between the spindle and...

This photo shows 2 links. One appears to be welded (spot welded?) so that it basically can't be taken apart to change the bushing. That was on my '67 Monaco. The second link shows a bolt holding it together so the bushing can be changed out. Did this happen after '67? I'd like to narrow...

My plan is to replace the front subframe in my '67 Monaco with this one: I'm showing here the underside rear passenger side. I would of course clean this frame up and paint it, but I want to go further. I want to form this out of 3/16 plate steel: And weld it to the frame: Here's...

I'm looking through various years of the parts manuals and I could totally be missing it but I don't see the term "pitman arm" being used. I do see "Steering Link Gear Arm". Is that the pitman arm? They don't show the arm itself in the exploded diagrams of the steering gear. Is it the case...

Was the 2.75" front shoe the standard size for all non-wagon, non-440 C-bodies from '65 right up to when disk brakes became standard? I imagine that police or taxi or otherwise a "heavy duty" brake option would have given you the 3" drums? I see some 3" drums on rockauto that are indicated as...

Unstoppable force: Meets immovable object: Which one will prevail?

How does this shaft get removed from the lower arm? Do I just pound it out from the other side? This shaft, the visible part in the photo, that runs through the frame, I assume it does not move or rotate? I was sort of wondering if it did, why no grease fitting. But I guess it doesn't...

I don't own an air compressor (I know I should). Every once in a while I've seen electric (corded) impact wrenches come on sale (Princess Auto - the Canadian version of Harbor Fright). This week their 2 wrenches are on sale - one has a torque rating 260 ft lbs ($75) the other is 440 ft.lbs...

I'm looking into getting a set of lower ball joints for '67 Monaco (front drums). I'm looking at Amazon, Ebay, Jegs. Looking at Moog and "Proforged" and also "Rare Parts". If these are the wrong P/N's or if they are correct but there are others crosses then let me know. Moog K783 / K781...

These are advertised as 1962-72 Mopar B, 65-73 C Body Leaf Spring Reinforcement Plates. Where exactly are they mounted?

Something I find interesting is the discrepency between how the springs are arranged on the front brakes of my '67 Monaco vs what the service manual shows. The manual identifies and shows the return springs on the shoes as being different, but I had mine set up (30 years ago, and again today)...

I remember a few months ago some discussion about obtaining these rag joints, maybe they were hard to get, maybe some ideas to modify them to work better. At the time my '67 Monaco was in storage and I didn't recollect if it had one of those or not. Today I got the Monaco out and low and...
