One of the main molding clip/retainer suppliers used to be "Au-ve-co".

Seems like there is a graphic of what clips go with which moldings in which positions? In the Chrysler service manual or in the Chrysler Parts Manual? CBODY67

Trying to find correct OEM wipers for anything from the 1960s-70s is a pain. What was common back then has been replaced, at the OEM level, by the Shepard's hook wiper arms. So all of the current aftermarket blades are of the SH design, with adapters. I suspect that nobody working for what...

Probably available from a vendor "Auveco", or similar. A somewhat common item years ago. Held outer metal moldings onto exterior body panels. Hence the "gasket" on them to decrease water intrusion. Different sizes, too. CBODY67

Seems like I had better luck by, rather than twisting and pulling straight out, trying to "bend" the sock out by rotating the wire end to one side, easily, until it came out partially and then fully? That way, not trying to compress all of the spring retainers at once. Just some of them. Now...

Pinion angle has no relation to driveshaft type/length unless it is very out of whack, which rear leaf springs will not tolerate. Nor will the GM cars they were probably thinking of, with their fixed-length rear control arms. Considering that pinion angle relates to how the rear spring saddles...

Your concerns? Just curious, CBODY67

Looks good. Congrats! From that camera angle, with the alloy wheels, the first pic kind of looks like an elongated GTX with a different roof. Enjoy! CBODY67

Thanks for that information and links! I know everybody normally thinks of Wilwood, but your ECI alternative looks to be a great alternative! A neat catalog and website! Keep us posted on the install, please. CBODY67

Welcome. Just curious, is this your first Chrysler product to deal with? IF so, head over to www.mymopar.com and download the 1968 Chrysler parts book and a 1968 C-body (probably any of the Chrysler C-body brands) factory service manual. There are PICTURES and illustrations you might find...

Get it rebuilt by a competent rebuilder. There should be some threads in here. Might put "Booster Dewey" into the search line, although Dewey has retired and the physical location has moved, same company and great service. Reman boosters can be a hit and miss, even if they look just like the...

That is a very small diameter tire for any C-body. Specs from several tire brands at Tire Rack show it has about the same revs/mile as the old E78-14 size. Might need to get into an A-body listing in a Chrysler FSM to find the stated speedo gear combinations, I suspect. Or maybe a B-body...

That is the ONLY Chrysler I've seen of that vintage with a continental kit. Have to walk over it to get to the big trunk those cars had! Never knew they existed! Has to be super-rare? Will limit driving only on level ground, too. Underhood, just a lot of putting more-correct pieces on it...

@mobileparts, I fully understand your desire to sell asbestos brake frictions, as that is your business. Still, asbestos frictions are NOT the best linings for all applications. On one of my daily cars, I have seen no real detriment to using semi-metallic pads due to wear. Rotors still wear...

In many of the late 1960s Chrysler parts books I saw locally, there was a "blue page" in the front of the book about where to get brake frictions for the law enforcement vehicles they might deal with. The dealers were instructed to call a brake shop in Amarillo, TX and to ask for particular...

Source on the rotors? Thanks, CBODY67

If you look at the percentage breakdowns, you can get an idea. Go from most-installed to least-installed of the options and then look at color combination. If anything, the original color combination can cut the numbers down significantly, I suspect. In looking at my '67 Newport Fasttop, it...

From our experiences, asbestos dust is more than just a tiny amount. Its presence in the drum and on the backing plate CAN affect brake performance. That is something I had never considered until our service station guy, who had worked at the local Chrysler dealership, suggested we get the...

To me, one thing which must be remembered is that many of these figures might not be "cast in stone". Additionally, they can tend to be "broad brush" situations rather than not. I never really did like the "percentage of units" orientation rather than specific numbers. The assy line/plant...

"The Standard Catalog of Chrysler" has production figures too. In some years, major options are listed in percentages, but not uniformly for C-body vehicles. Still quite interesting! Thanks for the postings! CBODY67
