    WANTED 62 dodge 880 parts wanted

    Similar ideas about 62 Dodge and Chtyslers. I'm thinking the shortened floor pans of the 62 Newport/300s and Dodge 880 may interchange with 63 and 64s as well. I'm hoping to use the front sub frame from a 64 Chrysler on my 62 Newport. Any guesses?

    61 Polaras, 62 Chryslers and 62-64 880's. Same but different

    I have a question about front stub frames and floorpans. The 1962 Chryslers and 63 & 64 Chryslers had the same wheelbases. Are they the same floorpans and front frame assemblies the same as Dodge 880s?

    65 C body front subframe vs 67 C body front subframe

    Mymopar.com has factory service manual for 65 Chryslers free online as well as lots of other Molar info for reference or download. Interesting sidenote-the 1965 Chrysler automatic transmissions were the same as 64 & back cable shifted pushbutton transmissions. 65 models used a column shift...

    For Sale 1965 NY'er Wagon -- w/ 4 speed conversion... $8500 (Kansas City)

    I followed that car for years. I'd love to put a 4-speed in my 66 2dr ht, but would it would be sort of sacreligeous in an New Yorker?

    For Sale 1966/67/68 New Yorker/T&C/Newport glass

    Only 66 2 door HTs-no sedans. In 65-68 Mopar used 7 basic roofs across Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge. With the 67 the 2 door Chrysler top was different than other years So you will see a 66 300 2 door top on a Sport Fury, similar for wagons. And many 65-68 roof on 2 and 4 door Mopars hardtops...

    Geraldine's engine and trans are out..... need info on 300l 413 cam....

    Though I'm not always a purist, don't dismiss the 'stock' spec 413. The extra HP and torque come at higher rpms and usually require a higher number (3.23 or 3.55) rear end to get there. the stock 413s have plenty of get up and go for most cruising applications. Remember you are driving a...

    Driveshaft question

    Yesterday I drove over to Jacksonville to pick up a new driveshaft for our 63 Sport Fury. We had a transmission rebuilt and beefed up. It was from a 65 dodge (I think) push-button with spline shaft instead of the factory trunnion joint. We needed a longer shaft, and had a new one made. It...

    Steering column upgrade

    The mounting surfaces and bases are different between 66 & 67. Also the tilt-o-scope wirings are different for those years. The 66 has a flat plate that the column support bolts onto. 67 and up have plastic plugs on the column support and the holes are in different locations. I think there...

    Dash Pad Removal In 1965 Chrysler

    That's really great advice. It's more than just the bolts. Unless you are a spry contortionist, you need to remove at least the front seat(s). You will be on your back a long time, so put a pad or blanket on the floor. Get one of those LED headband lights. You will find that Chrysler hid the...

    Dash Pad Removal In 1965 Chrysler

    Start by removing the bolts that hold the pad to the metal dash. They can be hard to find and reach. You may also need to remover some of the trim to release the edge nearest the driver to safely remove the pad. Also be careful not to force the pad too much- the pad may have become slightly...

    Spending my relatives inheritance-one Chrysler at a time.

    There won't be anything left for anyone if I keep seeing Chryslers like this. This is a 9 passenger 66 Town and Country I bought today. It has less than 40K miles, and has been parked in this garage since 1974. 440 TNT engine, disc brakes, rear a/c, power windows and only surface rust and a...
