    Can Old Brake Shoes outlive their effectiveness-even though there's plenty of "meat" on them?

    Well Craig, good to see you back on the forum! You blathering old coot! Too bad Mr. Minor degree didn't take a short course in manners 101 while he working on his BS. Cam (full of hot air) Shaft.

    Lifting a Convertible

    Ahh John, you're never overthinking! As a relative newcomer to this site, I can honestly say that I have received a ton of advice from you and others, some unsolicited, that made me think differently on how to approach something that I have never done, and believe me, it is all appreciated.

    Lifting a Convertible

    I am with Live4theking on this. For my 67 drop top, I start at the rear, go up halfway, put my jack stands in, do the front halfway, jack stands in, then finish the back and the front last. I was told by my long time Mopar fanatic mechanics and restorers to always unclip the convertible top...

    Tire Reccomendation - '78 New Yorker 4DR

    Couple of beautiful more doors you have there! Love the shop, those garages go on forever, like a garage condo! I am with Rip on this one, as mentioned in a much earlier thread on tires, IMHO, cars from the 60's and 70's look really good with the narrow whitewalls, the fat white walls seem to...

    Lifting the front ride height

    I also have never heard that those torsion bars can break while "adjusting them". I take the vast majority of the weight off of them but only because they are easier to adjust with tires just touching the ground, then drop the car back down to check and adjust the ride height. C Shaft

    Tire Reccomendation - '78 New Yorker 4DR

    Tires from 2015 might be considerably older than that, so safety first says they go ! I have been driving on the Nexen Priz 235 75 R15 AH5 with the thin whitewall all year and I am really pleased with them. Great load rating for our heavy cars, subtle whitewall and not a bunch of lettering...

    Looking for tires for my '67 Monaco

    Mopar Man: I went with Nexens on my 67 Chrysler Convertible and have nothing but praise for them. I like the increase in load rating and the thinner whitewall stripe, more of a 60's look rather the wider 50's stripe. Just an FYI, I could not find any white walls anywhere around me in Vancouver...

    Differences in SLAB steering boxes - advertised to be equivalent 68 Newport but not so

    Interesting discussion. I have my 67 300 on the road (yeah!) after 22 years. Everything in the car in the entire suspension and the front end is new. Rebuilt PS pump etc. Have not had a chance to have the alignment done (Friday morning) but I notice when I am driving that there is a "flat" spot...

    Any opinion on whitewall versus blackwall

    I thinki those narrow white walls look really good with the full wheel covers. I also do not like raised white letters, they seem to say "look at the letters" not, "look at these wheels" I just received my new Nexen N Priz tires yesterday and mounted them up, really happy with the results. AH5...

    ‘67 Monaco LHT wheel studs

    Craig: looking for rear wheel studs for 67 Chrysler 300 ragtop, right hand thread, Ross says you have some. I sent you an e mail last week, but maybe in your spam. In the photo attached, my LH stud on the left and the right hand stud that NAPA says is based on original. Does not look right to...

    ‘67 Monaco LHT wheel studs

    Gents: looked through this thread as I need to change over my rear lefties for some rear righties. 1967 Chrysler 300 drop top. My front end has been changed out with 1970 spindles etc, and now has right hand threads on both sides. The only one that needs to be changed out is the driver rear...

    1967 300 convertible Brake Line routing

    Hi All: On the big assembly for my drop top, and cannot find the front brake line (passenger side) for my disc brake assembly. I tore the car apart 17 years ago, and my memory is shot! Tried to figure out the routing, (thanks R Woolridge) for his usual sage advice, but does anyone know where a...
