Good afternoon everyone.
Looking for the broadcast sheet on my 71RR.
Another car's sheet was under the back seat.... no surprise
I'm the original owner but never thought of checking until now.
Good morning all... I have the X and Y dimensions from my Plymouth manuals, but I really need the floor to frame (Z) measurement numbers and reference datum locations.
Can any one either point me in the right direction or post what I may need?
Thank you all.
I think you all know the long wood grain panel which holds the charger / satellite or roadrunner emblem.
No AC or Strato vent... no emblem needed ...reasonably good condition please. See photo example
Very nice!
Who's sub-frame connectors did you use?
I'm considering getting them as well..... or I may install the torque boxes instead.
I can see you have the front loader 8-3/4 rear axle..... what are your ratios? I'm running 3:23's with the A833 4 speed.
All numbers matching main components..... the only exceptional thing is the engine. I rebuilt it in 89 because of failing head gaskets etc.... from sitting so long. I bought it in 80 with 19K on it, then the rebuild happened with 35K or so on it.... now the car has 43K and the engine 8K or so...
Yes. Its a base RR with taxi cab interior. Black bench seats with charcoal grey/silver inserts.
340 4bbl - 4 speed - drum brakes all around - no power steering or brakes.
No rally rims just 14 inch wheel base with the stainless steel satellite hub caps.
Finally dropped out the rear suspension and gas tank etc....have the car on the rotisserie.
I'm extremely happy to still see a lot of the undercarriage still shows the galvanized metal where Plymouth dipped it.
I happened to have an old bread factory tray steel dolly laying around like the pic below.
I put 2 - 2x12x26inch planks inside the frame so the k-frame could rest on it. My wheels were steel though and the dolly had a capacity stamp of 1500 pounds.
My oil pan does not go below the k-frame member...
Dropped the drive train out last week end. It went pretty smooth with exception that the last 2 bolts.... of course the last 2 bolts would not break free on the K-frame.
Extreme heat did not help but leverage did break the heads off the bolts.
Here are some pics of the progress.
Sorry for the delay.... been traveling some.
I'm doing the body and paint myself. Getting the garage prepared for the tear down and sizing up the rotisserie on the car. I should be dropping out the drive train this week end coming up.
Anyone have suggestions for reproduction upper cowls that they have installed?
And.... I hear there may be 2 for 71. Snap in air grills and ones with fasteners?
I've always been a 68 B body fan. I especially loved the 68 charger and Dart GTS 340 I had.....I kick myself for selling them...... only if I had known the future value.
When I was younger I really wanted the factory rims..... I'm glad I didn't do it.... I'm happy to have a base model sleeper.... everyone seems to want a GTX or a R with a wing.
You have to work driving this. Manual 4 speed.... no power steering.... no power brakes..... no discs-all drums.
I've been looking for the metal description / part name for the rear trunk panel directly behind the rear bumper. I can find the left and right gutter pieces, but nothing for the portion in the middle that connects them and has the rear bumper mounts.
Any help is appreciated.
Started to reorganize the garage so I can set up a new rotisserie just bought.
Took the cover off the runner to find the mice had really done a job on the headliner and seats.
No problem... I'll use the winter months to tear down and restore the seats and dash carrier.
Thought i would show the...
