    Steering wheel swaps?

    Hi all, I hope you're doing well. I wasn't sure to post this here or the steering forum; I'm specifically asking about a '72 B-body. I've seen steering wheels advertised as being for "A and B body" and "A, B and C body" do all '71-74 steering wheels interchange? Would '70 A, B, or C-body wheels...

    Stupid four door question, Dodge vs. Plymouth

    Hi all, I hope you're doing well despite everything going on. In the brochures and what I can find online, typically it gives the wheelbase for a '71-'74 4 door Satellite as 117" and the Coronet as 118". Is this just marketing, or is there really an additional inch somewhere in there? If so...

    PO hackjob

    Hey all, Here are some pictures from underneath my ‘72 Coronet. The floors rotted out under the rubber mat just under the pedals, and someone spliced in the rearmost portion of the front driver’s side frame rail from an orange car. The welds look terrible to me, so I’m asking... how screwed am...

    Frame machine before/after?

    Hi all, quick question; Is a car (especially our unibodies) as strong as before after it’s been on a frame machine? We’ve all grabbed a hunk of metal and bent it back and forth enough to snap the metal off, like a paper clip. After it’s bent once from an accident, then bent back into spec...

    Stupid question- how to replicate an engine sound?

    Hey all- I hope you're having a Merry Christmas/Holiday season and are spending it with your loved ones; either the ones in the house, or the ones in the garage that never complain about the gifts you give them. ;) This is a really old video that I'm sure a lot of you have seen. Please skip to...

    Shoulder Belt Mount?

    Hi all, I hope you're doing well! '72 Coronet. Has the original shoulder belts that clip to the ceiling. On a four door like mine, the front shoulder belts mount back over the rear doors. I bought a set of XV 3-point belts, and I was wondering if it would be possible to cut out the original...

    Bent Dash Frame? How to fix?

    Hello all, I hope you're doing well; Not sure if I should post this here or in the Interior forum, but here goes. '72 Coronet- I removed the dash pad, and the glove box door and ashtray went out of alignment. I removed the steering column to replace the gauge cluster and swap to a floor shift...

    Have I made the worst mistake of all time?

    Hey all. I've been debating posting this for a couple of months (seriously) but just about anything I've tried hasn't worked, except for one last-ditch effort coming in the mail (more on this later)... '72 Coronet. I was working on swapping my column shift steering column out for a floor shift...

    FOR SALE Complete 318, 4 barrel carb w/intake and headers - Free?

    Hi all, First of all, if this ad isn't allowed, please delete it. I am trying to abide by the rules, but I know this ad may be a little weird. Long story short: I've got a 318 in my '72 Coronet that ran up to about 18 months ago. It'd probably still run; it just hasn't run since I removed the...

    Brake Questions, '72 B-body

    Hello all, I hope you're doing well and keeping warm in your garages! :) I've *almost* finished replacing the 8.25 rear with an 8.75. Got new HD springs, pieces from Firm Feel, etc. I'm feeling really good about my progress. However, I have a couple of questions: The rubber brake line from...

    Leaf spring help?

    Hi all, I hope you’re doing well! ‘72 Coronet, 8 1/4 rear. I’m trying to get the rear and leaf springs out for wagon leaves and 8 3/4, and I’ve managed to remove the rear shackles and disconnect the shocks. Working my way forward, I get to the front leaf spring bolts, and they ain’t moving. I...

    GM to Mopar- I know, this might be sacrilege...

    Hello all; I have a question I'm hoping won't get me too much hate. Please keep in mind this is the only non-Mopar part I'm using, and this is going into a '72 4-door, so I'm not corrupting something collectible like an R/T Charger or anything. :) I've had this idea for years, and while I was...

    Grease for pedal shaft?

    Hey all, I hope you're doing well! I'm slowly working my way through converting the Coronet from a 904 to an 833. Began the pedal swap last weekend. Got the previous (short) pedal shaft out, dropped the bigger automatic brake pedal. Then realized the previous pedal shaft was covered in this...

    Body guy- help?

    Hey all, I hope you're doing well. I've got a '72 Coronet that I'm trying to build into a DD that's beefed up a little for some minor stunt work. Basically doing the subframe connectors/torque boxes and heavier gauge steel in the rockers like the convertibles had. There's a local body guy that...

    Where's the difference?

    Hey all, I hope you're doing well! Quick question; this pertains to a '71-up B-body. The '71 Charger wheelbase is 115". The '71 Coronet wheelbase is 118". Where are those three inches located on the car? (in before "between the wheels" comments) :) The reason I ask is I bought a set of...

    Brunswick Elementary School in MD in the '80s?

    Hey everybody, I know this is beyond a shot in the dark, but one of the first Mopars I remember seeing was a '64 or '65 Plymouth Satellite by my elementary school. There was a house across the street in a heavily wooded area (at least it was back then), and I remember the back end of this B-body...

    Wagon rears?

    Hello all, There's a '71 Coronet Crestwood in my local boneyard. It's been there awhile and it's pretty picked over... but the rear is still in it. Unfortunately, it's sunk in mud up to the back bumper, so I cannot tell what kind of rear it's got. I'm fairly certain it has a small block, but...

    Big block vs. small block driveshaft?

    Hi everybody- hope you're doing well! I'm in the process of converting my 904 automatic to an 833 4-speed on my '72 Coronet. Right now I've got a mild 318 under the hood, with plans for a 440 later. The 904 is out. The 318 is still under the hood. I'm planning on installing the 833, then...

    Paint code?

    Hello all, I hope you're doing well! I came across this picture, and I can't recall seeing a '73 or '74 in this color. Is this a factory shade, or something else entirely? Anyone know what it might be from? It almost looks like GM Code 43 "Lime Mist/Citrus Green." It looks too golden to be...

    Fender Skirts?

    Don't worry, I'm not looking to try and put a set of skirts on a Charger or Coronet- I was just curious... there seemed to be kind of a resurgence around 1969, 1970 as far as fender skirts- like the (I think) '70 Riviera had em, as well as the Grand Prix, the '70 Monte Carlo, etc. Has anyone...
