Yep, that's the one. It's kind of a dumb design - to much slop in my opinion. I'm thinking you could easily fab up something more efficient by looking at later model year mounts for reference.
This is the same mount I have on my 62 Chrysler. There is a large spring that fits on top and between the crossmember. I have a couple somewhere if you need one.
I needed a set for my 64 Polara - none to be found. Seems that the metal refill rails for most were a tad to wide for my arms. I ended up buying a set of 16" refills for a Challenger and then I removed the rubber part and put it on my existing wiper blades. Perfect fit. The rubber part is the...
THINKING of this conversion for a future project. I've read quite a bit about this conversion on FBBO, but most are for 66 - 70 models. I'd like to hear from anyone who has done this on a 62-65 B body and what, if any, are the challenges. Two concerns are trans tunnel mods and shifter location...
My car is in for paint and I'm polishing all trim and have stripped any paint from the trim. The inserts on the outer headlight bezels were painted gloss black. Not sure if the gloss is correct. Was the factory color gloss, semi - gloss or flat. Or perhaps it's a personal choice. Comments welcome.
On the upper stainless side trim on the 64 Polara, the 3/4 inch indented part of the trim is painted black. (On my car anyway). Can anyone tell me if this black should be gloss, semi gloss or matt.
Dave,
So if I have this correct, my car is an American built convertible Polara, so I need to order a mat specifically for a convertible? I'm assuming that the mat specific to convertibles would have a slit for the spare tire mount in a different place than sedans / hardtops. Thanks.
Looking to order a trunk mat for my 64 Polara Convert. Some companies list only a mat for all B bodies 63-65 - all models. Some companies offer mat specific either for converts, 4 and 2 Dr. models as well as Dodge and Plymouth being different. Does anyone have any definitive info on this? Is a...
I recently changed the door panel cards on my 64 Polara - learning curve but they turned out better than the 60 year old units. Not perfect but acceptable for me. New re-pops are about $850 US which equals about $1300 Canadian by the time they reach my door. The bottom of the vinyl has old paint...
Hi Bryan,
I'm thinking the swap should be the same for your 65. There are some small differences between the Plymouth and Dodge cluster, specifically with the push button shifter housing and the heater control housings - internal items. It's best if you use the 64 Plymouth housings if you have...
Transplant completed and successful. There were some wiring issues to sort out, but the item that gave me the most problem was grounding. I had to run a direct ground to the new cluster. Photos show before and after. Not everyone would do this swap, but I prefer the look of the Plymouth dash. I...
If I measure the ride ht. at the rockers behind the front wheels and in front of the rear axle, what should the difference be, if any. I'm trying to determine how much higher than stock the rear of my car is - i.e. - I need a starting point.
I have a parts car with the Plymouth cluster. There are two 5 pin connectors on the Plymouth cluster printed circuit board and one 8 pin connector on the Dodge. The circuit board on the Dodge is continuous and the Plymouth is split into two parts. For the most part, wires are color coded the...
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has done this swap. Canadian Polara's came with a Plymouth instrument cluster. I have an American Polara with the American dash and I want to swap it out for the Plymouth cluster.
I have a 64 Polara Convert and have access to a new set of "Cat Whiskers" from a 66 -67 B Body convert. Anyone know if I can retro fit these to my 64 B Body?
