My 71 RR’s original sway bar brackets both appear to have bend in them…not a clean u shape. The replacements that came with my front end kit are a clean U shape. Are my originals bent or were they supposed to be that way?

Just a warning. Classic Industries, and others, are selling this Cardone power steering gear as a direct replacement. It does NOT fit my 71 RR. The position of the spline that mates with the steering coupler is more than a half inch shorter than the original. It was visibly short when I took it...

I took a chance and ordered a Cardonne MN7500 rebuilt power steering gear assembly from Classic Industries. Price was right, so I thought, compared to rebuilding my own. The dimensions seem off. The location of the splined shaft that connects to the steering coupler is about an inch shorter...

I need to replace the old two piece rotors on my ‘71 Road Runner, factory front disc car. The spindles are good, so I’m trying to go back with a correct rotor that doesn’t involve different bearings/sleeves etc. Many places list rotors that fit but then I’ve heard of folks receiving a rotor...

I found a local shop that will blast and powder coat my stripped K frame for $200 but I’m curious what others have done DIY. I’m trying to do as much as I can myself. What have you done with yours and how did it turn out?

I’m going through the tear down and rebuild of steering and suspension on my ‘71. The power steering gear appears physically in good shape with no leaks, but the car was not in running condition and has been sitting for a very long time. Should I just assume it needs a rebuild or replacement...

Diving into my front suspension and brakes. It appears my car has original 2 piece rotors. Worth keeping? How do I determine if they are in good enough condition to turn them and put them back in service? Any benefit to switching to single piece rotor? I’m assuming I could do that without...

Earlier in 2022, I bought a complete lock set via ebay. It was advertised to be a matching ignition and door lock set along with matching trunk and glovebox set…resulting in the standard two-key set for my ‘71 Road Runner. I installed the ignition lock and glove box latch this past summer but...

1971 Road Runner wiring riddle. I’m rebuilding the steering column and noticed something doesn’t match the wiring diagrams. The old ignition switch doesn’t have the ”18V Ground” conductor going down to the connector. It’s not cut off or removed…it’s just not there. The new switch does have...

I went with a Shee-Mar aftermarket turn signal switch based on some good reviews/reports. It appears to be well built and functions properly but there is a slight difference in the notches where the turn signal lever mates up with the switch. They don’t seem quite wide enough. I could...

My ‘71 RR is missing the turn signal lever screw. Would anyone happen to have the dimensions and thread type? Thanks!

3rd Gen. Is the steering wheel supposed to be same color as the rest of the column?

I have two center consoles. The blue one is the original out of my 71 Road Runner. I picked up the black one at a swap meet. It has the holes for seat belt retention loops but my original one doesn’t. Were the seat belt loops a later revision? Other 71 owners have told me that their 71 has...

Finally got around to removing the steering column from my ‘71 RR. Floor shift, power steering model. Car has November of 70 production date. There was no locking plate, no lock ring and no inner tube. Is that correct for this application or am I now on a hunt for more parts?

Hoping someone here has pics of the ash tray and glove box bumpers on a 71 Road Runner or other B body. Didn’t get front pictures of mine for some reason. Need help sorting through the grab bag.

Spent a sunny day cleaning up the dash harness for my ‘71 RR. Everything is in great shape except the plastic spacer or bushing that sits between the actual bulkhead connector and the firewall. The tabs are a little chalky. Has anyone found that reproduced/sold by anyone? All the stuff I find...

Looking for an unsalvageable center section for a 71 satellite/road runner grille. Just needs to be enough of it left to cannibalize a tab.

Any other company out there make door VIN decals and vin plate transfers besides ECS? I sent my order to ECS, with a picture of my original. They charged my card and then emailed me to tell me my decal was not original and asking me where it came from. Seems like they were implying I had a...

Looking for a pair of side marker bezels for 71 Satellite/Road Runner. Thanks.
