Is the pushrod seated all the way into the piston?

My old alignment guy died recently, my experience with raising or lowering the front end of my 65 would change the toe in. At least that’s all he ever adjusted. He was a meticulous old fashioned mechanic, let me look over his shoulder and showed me all his settings. When the body goes up or down...

Raising or lowering will effect toe in more than anything else.

Prayers for your friend.

Have you talked to Hagerty or Grundy? You tell them the amount you want it insured for, they write you a policy for the stated amount, plus injury, liability and property damage. I’ve got my vehicles insured through Hagerty.

I think it’s a pretty cool old truck. If you want a 440 in it, put a 440 in it, it’s your truck. I don’t think it would hurt the value any. But I’d keep the original parts with it.

Looks pretty straight, left side anyway. Nice barns.

Great thread, thanks for all your time and trouble posting this. Getting started on the Savoy finally.

I like the color combo. Looks like a doable project.

Welcome from Indiana. Great looking Coronet!

Thanks for saving another unloved but very cool car. Great job so far, and boy does it eat up the time saving parts for patterns and the fabrication of parts. Keep up the great work.

While you’ve got your welder out, one thing I’d suggest is adding subframe connectors. Your new floor has none of the original stiffening ribs, and running a four speed I think it would be a good idea. On a unibody, the floor is a major part of the structure.

The A&A manifolds that I’ve seen doesn’t have the Chrysler casting numbers.

Welcome from Indiana. Early B Plymouths are the best, good luck on your project. Sounds like you’ve learned a lot already. This guy is the 64 Plymouth go to person as far as I’m concerned.

Those filler panels could be easily fabbed with luan or some thin hardboard and a short piece of 2x2 and some glue. Or any thin somewhat rigid material, plastic? I could send you a pattern if you’d want to fab your own. The trunk mat covers them, so you don’t see them. Those side pieces in...

My 63 Fury has a body color trunk, both of my 64s and both of my 65s have gray/white trunk paint. All were originals except the 63 had a color change. Here are the original filler panels from my 65.

Really nothing wrong with the tapered axles, drag cars ran them for years without any major problems. You need the side filler panels for the trunk, they are repopped but easily fabbed out of luan. The MW setup looks cool under the hood, but there are much better choices, 60 years of technology...

Wayne, you know that if that has the original rear axle in it, the 64 axle housing is the widest of the early B body axles. The 65s are about an inch and a half narrower, the 62-63 axle is about 2 inches narrower. Swap in an earlier or later axle and you’ve solved the tire rub problem. Years...

Looks great! Keep up the good work.
