Me, too. I've seen a few adds in Hemmings, but haven't followed up yet. On another nore, i need a driver's seat belt for the same car.

Really just need a patch panel. Body shop could probably fabricate one, but easier to find metal already in the right shape.

Just found it. AMS. https://www.amsnos.com/

I'm in need of a driver door skin for my 2 door. I remember someone mentioning a mopar junk yard in north Ga, but i've lost track of it. Can anyone help?

Only when warm, but once it begins, under all movement, backward forward, turning and straight.

I did the brakes, in an attempt to address this issue. That and the drums had never been removed in 46 years. My mechanic tested the bearings at the ends of the axle, on the lift, but there was no play or leaks. Working cold, he was unable to reproduce the noise. We're now looking inboard, so...
