It always reminded me of the backside of "Masonite" board, due to the pattern in it. Better than just the pressed paper boards normally used. The slots for the rear speaker were cut, although just one speaker could be used, YET two 6x9s do fit nicely! Color? Probably a dye to seal the...

Yes, the front floor sections are the same. As for the second seat area, they might be close enough to a Dodge rear carpet to work. Reason is that the wheelbase of the C-body wagons is the same as for the normal Dodge C-body cars (Polara and Monaco) at 122". Past that, to do the rear section...

One reason to get a factory power seat is that you can run the seat track all the way to the bottom to get the seat closer to the floor. Some manual seat tracks (as in Chrysler Cloud Cars) have a manual lever for that, but not all manual tracks do. Heated seats can be powered separately, but...

How hard are you pulling on it to get it to do that? Will the lever still work? One night years ago, when my '77 Camaro was still a used car, I hit a dip a bit faster than suspected and the front suspension bottomed out. I found the steering wheel on top of my thighs, although it was adjusted...

The magnets might be small by modern standards, but they are BIG by the standard of when the car was built. Might need some countersunk-style screws to mount the speakers, rather than what is in there now? Some which are flatter that do not stick up so much. Is there a flange toward the lower...

What issue are you having that you need to get that "deep" into the column?

Is this not covered in the Chrysler Factory Service Manual? Free download at www.mymopar.com . T & T steering columns were only on Chryslers and Imperials, as Plymouth and Dodges had the tilt column only, as a general rule, by the time the Fuselage Cars happened. Yet T&T columns were in all...

Aurora Designs is one place many in here have used for such upgrades. NOW it appears Gary Tayman is now a part of a worldwide network of converters! www.tech-retro.com is the website. For some reason, that link might not work from this forum, so paste it into your search engine to get there...

Somewhere, hidden in the pages of the sales brochures dialogue, the name of any woodgrain would be mentioned. Especially if it was deemed to indicate a unique grain of wood, rather than the more mundane "dark walnut". Usually not mentioned in the Color and Trim Guide, from my experiences...

Great that they discovered the "metallic/pearl" content of the Chrysler trim codes (with 1974 being the first year of "normal" colors, in fabrics and vinyl/leather upholstery). Thanks for the advisory!

I'm thinking you remove the belt and shroud as one item. Then remove the retractor assy form the belt and then the belt comes out. There might be a molded-in retainer in the shroud that might need to be reformed a bit, but not much for it to hold the bolt end of the belt?

Yes, that is how our '66 Newport Town Sedan came from the factory. If you look at the complete "circle" the belts make, when joined, it makes for a more gradual and spread-out "force application" to the person's body. Rather than the more U-shaped shape if they were done otherwise. It also...

For the Dodge, you might check with Legendary Interiors. Unless they have expanded, they usually have mostly bucket seat interiors? For the Newport, might check and possibly network with the operatives at www.bbtr.de . CBODY67

The "window felt" the glass rolls up into?

Other than the hole for the steering column, which is sealed, there is also a small hole for the speedometer cable and then the hole where the bulkhead connector/fuseblock is. None of those are in places where moisture could collect, though. " Might need to remove the cowl screen and use a...

Seems like the current MOPAR ACTION has an article on fixing factory remote mirrors for little cost?

For clarification, running the power cord can be a security issue if the vehicle resides in a multi-family living situation rather than on its own plot of land. Just as leaving the window down without the car cover on the car would be. Certainly the wire gauge of the extension cord of 100 ft...

When concrete is poured, if a vapor barrier is under the re-bar, no floor sweat issues.

I'm still of the orientation that the moisture is from condensation due to the temp variations. Even if the car cover is a lighter color, the paint under it is still dark, which can still receive solar radiation during the day. Just like white snow melts first when it's over a black asphalt...

Split bench cars have the extra supports too?
