I bought 2 parts cars with my 62 Dart 2 door, and even then I had to search for parts. I shipped a complete rear window stainless set to someone, with trim being long and curved and fragile, it took weeks to package, and cost something like 3x the purchase price.

62 Dart cop/fleet cars had the 57 Plymouth steering wheel.

I bought the brand new ebay ones a hundred years ago for my 67 a-body, trouble free since.

Front/rear bars on an a-body. QA1 upper/lowers/strut rod in front. Rebuilt steering column! Handles like a dream. Careful, as the car now remains level as you straighten the curves, if rear tires are too tall they may fold over and rub spring a tad.

Attempted tightening pinion nut again today, bent my breaker bar and then the socket side made a pop sound. It spread apart exposing what I assume is the broken pin. I don't foresee me getting this thing any tighter. Fluid was flowing out the original seal, so I saw it as a needed repair. Bummer.

Did you get it back to where it was originally? Or even close to 240?

Car is up on ramps. I tried a pipe wrench on the yoke against the floor, the breaker bar with a pipe on the end, put the jack under the pipe and slowly pumped the jack. Nut didn't budge, car started to rise.

Just changed my seal. Marked the yoke, pinion, and nut with a paint pen. I figure there's a margin of error, under the car, dirty. Came off fairly easy with a 90psi gun. Back together, pipe wrench on yoke rock steady, can't get it back to my so called mark. Turned up the psi to 100+, worked...

No, with what exactly? I saw the torque spec in the fsm, which my torque wrench doesn't come close to, but not the assembly procedure.

I marked the yoke, pinion, and nut with a paint pen. I figure there's a margin of error as I'm doing this under the car, it's dirty, and I cleaned up the yoke and nut, but I smacked the nut with a chisel before cleaning it. Large pipe wrench on the yoke, it came off fairly easy with my weak...

So the 15x8 4.25 bs with the L-60 MT just fits, but they're dry rotted. Plan was to get 275/60s, but when I tried the 15x8 4.5 bs 275/60s off my Dart the space between the tire and the quarter/lip are the exact same. The 275/60 is more rounded, and basically the equivalent of the MT, although...

Not this time. The rearend had everything done, soup to nuts, bearings, seals, brakes, 4:10, springs, and I drove it last year in the 2 door hardtop. I swapped the center section, put new wagon springs on it, and slid it under the wagon. Everything looked as good as new, seals, bearings/races...

1964 Fury wagon.

62-64, I have a few switches with the same symptoms. Brake lights intermittent, if I spin the center of the switch it sounds a little crusty, plug it back in lights work. Eventually brake lights are back to intermittent, and when they do work feed wire connector seems a little warm while...
