I have a 1970 Air Grabber Road Runner. My air grabber was fully functional, but it was slow. Now that I am restoring the car, I see that the hinge is a bit rusted so it does not open and close easily. I have seen just the hinge for sale, but they all seem to be listed for 71-72 cars. Classic has one but they don't say what year it fits.

Bottom line: Is the 70 hinge different than the 71-72? Anybody know?

Thanks in advance,

Hawk
 
I thought it was a one year thing but I found this conflicting info:

http://www.pgclassic.com/product_info.php?products_id=571 complete kit that includes the hinge for 70 RR and 71-72 charger.

http://www.moparplus.com/product/102-h-mopar-b-body-air-grabber-door-hinge just hinge for 71-72 charger and 71 RR
This hinge has 5 holes on the part that goes under the air box where ours has 3.

71-72 Charger seem to be the common denominator, looks like a crap shoot but they might work, hopefully someone knows more.
Or try restore yours, good luck
 
Check with Al of Wilson Productions. He'll know for sure and makes the best A/G parts on this planet. All are US made.

Also just looked in the parts book and 71-2 Plymouth has a different number than 70ply/71-2Dodge.
 
Thanks for the replies. I will try to measure my old hinge, and maybe all this hassle and uncertainty will jut drive me to try and fix my old hinge. It may be repairable, as the rust is not too serious.

I do appreciate the reference for Wilson Productions too, as they look by their website to be specialty dealers. I will try to call them...

Thanks again,

Hawk
