I have a 73 Newport. I have had the dash apart on it. I will say it is different from my 67 Newport. Are you looking to replace the radio with another same model, or upgrade? The speaker can be accessed from the top, at least on mine. Look at the speaker cover, you will see I think it is 5...

Well I don't know the routing of UPS, but since they have the postal contract now, sounds about right. FedEx did have the postal contract for many years. FedEx utilized it's airplanes during the day to move the mail, and since they fly to so many more destinations that UPS, they would fly the...

Thanks.. does it have a front license bracket ?

Good day everyone. When I purchased my latest C-Body,1973 Newport, I was glad to have another. I love my 1967 Newport Custom, but I am finding out more and more about the 1973 Newport. Maybe it's just me, but trying to locate and replace some parts seem to be a challenge. I am finding many...

thank you, I have the replacement bushings. My issue is that the actual links themselves (Metal parts), are broken and not usable.

Thank you.. Only issue there is that all the local yards around me, don't have any older cars. I miss the days of roaming the yards with older cars. The ones I have been to don't have anything older than a 2000, and that's if your lucky. I think I'm gonna have to make a trip to Alabama. I...

I posted this link looking to try and find anyone that has the links (metal parts), for sale. You can actually find the replacement bushings for your sway bar from several companies. I have 2 more sets of bushings, but the links installed on my car are damaged. Looks like previous owner had car...

Good day everyone, Working on 1973 Newport. I purchased this car over a year ago, and have been working on front stabilizer bar. I replaced the bushings on the stabilizer links that hold the stabilizer in place. The links did not look to be the best. I drove the car a few miles, and tried to...

Thank you.. after pulling dash apart I saw it. Gonna make a note in the service manual about that one.

I purchased a 73 Newport last summer. When purchased the gentleman gave me a new/rebuilt steering gearbox.The old one was leaking at shaft seal. He was moving and did not want to take the car with him. I have read the service manual and checked on line for what I could find. I don't think I need...

I am in the process of changing the steering gearbox on my 73 Newport, everything removed as indicated here. Today, will work on breaking plate loose from firewall. Can you advise if that was all you needed to do? I really don't want to have to remove dash, I just got it all installed.

I would have to say check your rear axle. Yea, possibly the bearing you replaced was not installed correctly. I know you mentioned the left side. Did you check the right side? I would check everything in your rear axle.

Is your radio the original tumble wheel radio? I have that on my 67 Custom Newport, and while it does still work, mine is an AM radio only. I kept it, and well installed a JVC stereo under my seat. Now, locally I don't listen to the radio stations because you get 15 minutes of music, 20 minutes...

Personally, those wheels look awesome. Now, if you want to change the look, stay with 15 inch. I have the same car and it came with factory 14 inch steel wheels and hub caps. I did change to 15 inch wheels, and remember, if you change the diameter of the wheel, you are going to have to change...

Yes, they will. I have a 67 Newport Custom, 2dr fastback. Original wheels were 14". After a blow out and damaged steel wheel, I installed my 80 Dodge Diplomat "Mirada" wheels, yes, 15 inch but they were factory wheels from my first 80 Diplomat. I bought another Diplomat just a few years ago and...

I posted a while back, but received no replies. I located a windshield, I needed for my 73 Newport 2dr HT. It arrived today. After 7 months, but its new. Now, when I got the car, the front leaked bad. The car had not trim around the glass, and the seal that was on it was hanging out. Research...

Good day Everyone, Seeking help here. When I bought my 73 Newport 2 door hardtop, the front and rear glass both leaked and had been covered, or externally sealed with silicon. Since I had successfully fixed the issue on my 67 Newport long ago, that had the same issue, I figured I would do the...
