Here are some photos showing the offset of the ends better.

Going to try and get him to take a picture down the length of the bar to see the offset of the two ends.

It's a friend's car so I'll have to get him to send me a picture.

Haven't fixed it yet. Did get another torsion bar. The repair procedure calls for removing the tailgate but it looks like it could be done without doing that.

Looking for a good front parking brake cable for a 1965 Chrysler. Interchange appears to be '65-69 Chrysler and '67-69 Imperial. Need it shipped to 92065. Thanks, Nick

1966 cars use the caps like you show. Same cap as what my car came with but without the lines. I'll look into the screw thing.

Do the 1966 and 1967 disc brake steel wheels accommodate the larger dog dish caps that were used on the cars back then? I know disc brake cars normally came with full wheel covers but I'm looking for some 15" wheels that will take the large dog dish caps and fit over disc brakes. I got wheels...

Hi Frank. Still haven't found any of it or any matching material. I guess that's still holding you up on your wagon. Nick.

They would have had to make totally new major body stampings to make it work and on a low production model it wasn't worth it. Even in 1962 the Chrysler and Dodge wagons ended up with the 1961 Plymouth wagon rear body, which made for awkward body line transitions and mismatches in style. At...

My '60 New Yorker Town & Country listed for over $6600 with its options. Even the Windsor wagon that year was quite expensive. For 1961 they made the lower wagon the Newport and stripped some standard equipment to get the price down.

Joe, on the Chryslers it's called the Flightsweep Decklid. On the Plymouth it was bolted on top of the standard decklid and would trap water under it and rust. On the Chrysler and Imperial it is molded into the sheetmetal with trim on top. The 300F uses a special hubcap with a drain hole and no...

Big bucks right there!

Only one of my wingnuts looks like it has gold down inside the top of it. Nothing on the bottom. My car was owned mostly by one family but they converted to a 4-barrell at one time but still had all of the original parts to put it back when they got it back on the road. I know that they...

Steve, can you tell me if one wing nut on your air cleaners is gold? Someone told me recently that they were painted assembled with the one wing nut and that they got the gold paint on the wingnut. Thanks, Nick

Got my fuel tank installed. Had an issue with the mount for the tank strap. The captured nut in the bracket on the body broke loose. Had to cut the bolt head off to get it out. That left me with a hole. Was going to put a rivnut in it but the hole was too big so made an insert to drop down in...
