I hate that too. I have seen dash bezels in excellent shape that were ripped out to get to the radio or inst panel.
Just a few screws removed could have saved it.

Thats not just a Chrysler wheel but a cop wheel at that.
But I don't need to tell you that, Great score for $9.00

I recently pulled a complete engine wiring harness from a 89 Ramcharger.
The guy pulling the drivers fender cut the wires to the relays before I got there.
While he went to get a cart to carry the fender and door,
I pulled the relays with cut wires off of the fender before he got back.
Now I have to reconnect them, but at lease I have them to make a complete harness.

All he had to do was unplug them, which would have taken less time then getting the cutters to cut them.
I have scored several CD, Cassette AM/FM factory radios from this place, now there in all my keepers.

80 Labaron Coupe -- what place? it might be closer for me than driving back into the metroplex.

East Tx near Tyler.
There are a lot of pic and pulls in the DFW area.

Dang ..
Thats just about as far as Dallas/Ft Worth.
I've been to the three in Dallas.
Dallas South is horrible. If you don't get there the first week the car is listed, everything is gone- just a shell remains.

Dallas South Central always seems like there is an accident between me and them..big time delay

Dallas West is my favorite. Nice staff, bigger lot, kinda hinky how the roads connect to get to the entrance but its doable.

Only problem for me is anyone of these lots are 2 hours away. Most days I can't be away from the house that long. But on a good day, its very, very tempting.

Where U at?
It takes Me 1 1/2 to 2 Hours to get to Dallas from here,
depending how deep into the Metroplex I go.

I can almost throw a rock and hit the red river. Its all that construction on 75. Seems like everything from Sherman to Plano is under construction. Ditto if you scoot over and go through Denton and try going south on 35.

Keep thinking I need a cousin to move to Waco so I can have an excuse to go to Belton. They always seem to have more chryslers down there.

Exactly the case here, as well.
F-body dash bezels have ½ the screws (4) an M-body has.

I grabbed the dash wiring, instrument cluster assy, glove box and evaporator case to convert at car to A/C (not sure what to do about the firewall differences, yet) - but still need the dash bezel.

Been trying to grab the nice looking, cat free Y-pipe from same car, and been running into many difficulties getting it off.

These pictures were taken for 80 Lebaron Coupe.
I don't think the cover was ever off of this differential before.

It also had fairly fresh transmission fluid (or appears to be ATF) in it instead of grease (you can see it dripping out of the top picture) – which I thought was odd.

I’ve seen manual transmissions and front wheel drives that use ATF, but not an FMJ differential before.

What type of dash bezel are you looking for?

Unrelated to this post. I’m gathering parts to converter my ’77 Volare wagon, a no A/C car, to A/C - eventually.

I’m looking for a nice A/C F-body cluster dash bezel, either in chrome or wood. The wood version from this car, was broke when someone got the radio.

This is a picture of the dash on my ’77 Volare (taken two months ago).
