This black and silver combo is the base interior for a 68 Road Runner. Most people seem to think it is custom because they expect all black... The silver headliner was a difficult part to source.

Agree with the Mopar additive. I tried synthetic 80-90 wt years ago (no additive, bottle said it was not needed) and the dana was not happy with it. Clunk and snap noises while driving was not good. Drained it out and put in good 80-90 wt with the additive and it has been just fine for the past...

Looks like you already have the hard work done - the big wild card is just the input shaft retainer diameter issue. Hoping someone can chime in whether you can just swap the one from your existing 4 speed or if some machining may be required. It was already mentioned about the shifter lever...

I had this at Carlisle last year and lots of talk about it - From what I remember the swap may still need a bellhousing. I don't know enough if the 4 speed will bolt up to a 3 speed housing?? You need to find the correct size input bearing retainer or have the bellhousing machined to fit the...

So, I found this stash of NOS fobs at a swap meet last year. The back of the medallion has a serial number – none of them end in engine size like 426, 440 340, 383 etc. One ends in 300 so maybe good for Letter Series Chrysler. Sometimes random numbers have meaning like a VIN, birthday, address...

The Hemi cars from 66, 67, early 68 are more difficult to prove the motor is still the original or even considered "date correct". Those motors sat around much longer than the typical 318/383 used in most cars back then. Can't always guarantee that they pulled motors in sequence to install. You...
