    1968 Newport - Looking for a good source for heater air hoses

    Thanks live4theking. Not bent, will dive in to McMaster. I've done bizz with Murray before. Hard to find usable used air hoses, but he usually comes through. Although, I'm still looking for a unicorn.

    1968 Newport - Looking for a good source for heater air hoses

    Hi C-body fans!, I'm hoping the collective C-body brain can suggest a good source for heater (air-hoses), that are connected to the heater box. non A/C car. There are 2 x 2.375" id hoses and 1 x 4.375" x 7.875" oval hose. Thanks in advance, Mike

    known source for Newport vinyl clips

    Update, The ones I previously pictured above from Rosevillemoparts.com has 'some' clips, in the pictured 'front' bag that are the right size, 4 to be exact, (you require 10 in total, 5 for each side). When asked for more of just the smaller ones, they deferred to Vans Auto. 920-324-2481, must...

    known source for Newport vinyl clips

    These are rather tricky to locate...... No luck on ebay, R/T specialties Napa or Auveco. Although I haven't given up the ghost yet. Best I could find was from Roseville Moparts for a Charger, see pic. The rectangular part on the original, photo at top of thread, is made of felt, while these...

    trunk mounted luggage rack - haven't seen one on a slab yet

    Hello C-body Fans, I stumbled upon this pic while pawing through FBM the other day. Fairly certain I've never seen a luggage rack on a slab era C-body. (wagons, yes - roof mount). Does anyone know if they made a factory option (non-aftermarket), for slab trunks? Shared wisdom appreciated...

    Down the Newport window whiskers rabbit hole.

    " I noticed that some sets of fuzzies (whiskers) have a squeegee (wiper blade of sorts) for the outer fuzzies, and some just have the same fuzzy felt-like material for both the outer and inner pieces. Also, I'm fairly certain this may deviate between Mopar models & years. Does anyone have this...

    Down the Newport window whiskers rabbit hole.

    OK, small update. I received a bag of assorted generic whiskers, and comparison revealed only one is close to the factory fuzzy. And, it is really not that close. black vs. chrome, and different width. But in a pinch.... it might be an ok temporary substitute. I noticed that some sets of...

    Down the Newport window whiskers rabbit hole.

    Hello Fellow C Body Enthusiasts, Although I've tracked down 5 or so sources for inner and outer window whiskers, they all are 'out of stock' on the 68 Newport fastop option, (& verts for that matter).. I can get generic pieces, where I trim down the pieces and perhaps bend the rear units, but...

    console mounted vacuum gauge -- hose specs?

    Yeah, I can always give that a try. Although I've never seen it at an auto parts store, maybe it is kept out of site... Perhaps it isn't standard vacuum hose, more like 'line'. Hard plastic, (maybe) I'd say less than 1/8th inch inner diameter... Mike

    console mounted vacuum gauge -- hose specs?

    Hello Mopar friends, The small hard plastic hose mounted to the engine and connecting to the fire wall is ancient and cracked etc. and in need of replacement on my 68 H-code. I might as well replace the interior side while I am at it. Does anyone know the diameter, or better yet, a place to...
