  Suspension questions
Posted by: Piper - 05-23-25, 10:58 PM - Forum: Tech Q&A - Replies (10)

I'm rebuilding the front end on my 67, the strut rods that came out were both bent so I opted for the Calvert adjustable. How should I install/adjust them prior to taking the car for an alignment ?

Just get them snug and don't tighten the lock bolt down maybe?

I am assisting a client/friend in trying to locate a 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T his stepfather owned in 1969 in SC. The VIN#
is WS23L8G177560. It was yellow in color in 1969. He remembers it as a little boy and riding in it. He would like to find it if it is still out there somewhere. Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.

  1965 Dodge Coronet 500
Posted by: Mygirlditto - 05-19-25, 04:13 PM - Forum: New Members - Replies (2)

We have inherited a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500. It has a 318 wide block, 2 barrel carburetor, solid lifters, and it ran when it was parked, over 15 years ago.  We would like to sell this car to someone who will fix it up and do something with it. The floor board is rusting out on it but the body is straight with minimal rust. Any suggestions on where to list it to get it in front of the right people?

  68 Vent Window DELETE - please help!!
Posted by: 68moreDoor - 03-26-25, 02:02 PM - Forum: Tech Q&A - Replies (1)

Hey guys, 
Working on my son’s 68 4 door and have been wanting to replace the vent wing/window rubber on the front doors. I’m sure it’s the original rubber and obviously it has shrunk over the years and starting to let rain water into the door.

So originally we decided to simply replace with new rubber weatherstrips. I thought I found what I needed at Classic Industries but when it arrived, it’s apparently for a 2 door. The difference is at the top of the vent window, the rubber appears “cut-off” compared to my 4 door that forms a point. I called Classic Industries and am told that no one makes replacements for 4 doors. 

So here’s my questions:
1. Does anyone know where I can find new vent window rubber weatherstripping for my 68 4 door front doors?
Or
2. These look really good with the vent window out. I would totally be up for deleting the vent window all together if I knew there was a kit or parts I could buy to relocate the window channel and obviously new bigger glass. Anyone ever done this or know how?

We plan on adding A/C in the near future so not worried about losing the ability to direction the vent windows for cooling.

Thanks in advance for any help!

  Axle end play
Posted by: Coronet67500 - 03-16-25, 12:47 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (12)

Hello, I installed the axles yesterday with new bearings/seals etc. on the 8 3/4 742 differential and the drivers side has about 1/8" end play in it. Adjusting the end play on the passengers side collar to specs makes no difference to the drivers side whether the drivers side axle is pushed in or pulled out the end play on the passenger side stays the same as adjusted. I did not check the drivers side end play before pulling it out but this doesn't seem right. Especially when I can push in the drivers side axle hard and hear it clunk while the car is in the air. I never heard that while driving the car. Did the new bearings not get pressed in all the way down? Is this normal?
Thank you
