That's exactly the problem with this 1963 year. It's a "shoulder year: and it's a puzzle to find what part is correct. It's frustrating.
It's almost as bad as my wife's 1974 Spitfire. Triumph was in in tough financial shape at the time, and they just threw whatever parts they had laying around...
A local high school has had a car show three years now where the students are the judges for trophy awards.
The weather was beautiful and brought out about 140 cars in our rural county!
The show organizer (a teacher) arranges with Hemmings staff to give the student judges guidelines on what to...
I need to rebuild the brake booster on my 1963 (non-letter) Chrysler 300.
Many auto parts sites do not include a 1963 Chrysler in their Make/Model drop-down lists, so I get skeptical when I see 1963 parts offered online.
I turn to you to ask about this vendor and the brake booster rebuild kit...
We were very lucky. The sun actually came out and the marching veterans were grateful to rest for a while where a shade tree sheltered the road. (Me, watching the temp gauge while stopped in the sun!)
It's pouring here now. Good for the grass, as it was getting brown from our 80+ degree week.
So, my 1963 300 is neither a Forward Look nor a Slab Side ride based on the forum's categories.
This has been discussed here previously, so there is no need to rehash all that.
I wanted to post a picture of my 300 before heading out this morning to drive veterans' widows in our Memorial Day...
Thank you commando1! The exterior is in great shape with tight gaps and good paint. There is pitting on the pot metal bright work above the rear bumper. (sigh) And, just about everyone told me that the wheel covers are wrong. I've "improved" this, with 14" "300" wheel covers (incorrect year) on...
Thanks, CBODY67. Much to think about before changing out the whole system. I have run the car back and forth to "set" the self adjusters, but no real difference. The car has single wheel cylinders at all four corners. My 60 New Yorker and my 61 Dart have dual cylinders, that while a pain to...
The brakes on my 1963 300 Pacesetter were virtually non-operational. It has "power" brakes." (Scare quotes are deliberate...) Four drums, single pot master cylinder. Oh **** braking performance. So, I replaced the master cylinder, all the flexible hoses, the wheel cylinders and the brake shoes...
I sent this is in to another forum a while ago and have yet to get approval from the administrator for this to be posted.
So, I turn to you good people.
I need to replace the floor pans in my 1961 Dodge Dart Pioneer. It is a 2 door hardtop. I an looking for you to help with my questions.
Are...
Is this interesting, or is this confusing? My 1961 Dart Pioneer doesn't have a B pillar. The 1961 in the thread here looks to have one. They both look to be 2 door models. I guess I am interested AND confused.
Thank you, all, for your help with your responses and information.
I screwed up buying the 15 inch hubcaps for my car -- my wanting got the better of my thinking.
However, I think they will look great on my garage wall!
That may be, but I haven't had any luck finding hubcaps defined as original for 1963. If you can clue me in as to the proper hubcap, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback.
