    Help me identify my chassis

    Actually that’s not true, it’s a federal felony to switch frames and not have the DOT involved. The legal VIN is what is on the frame unless you go through the process of getting everything legal. Your insurance company might check the VIN on the frame after an accident and if the vehicle has...

    Leaf Spring Shackle - regular vs HD and sway bar combo

    Auto makers have been using the same colors since WW2, the modern formulas will change the color slightly but it’s been rinse and repeat over and over again. I scanned the dash in my 64 Fairlane and the color came up as a 2012 Toyota color… lol It was a perfect match

    Help me identify my chassis

    The Dakota frame will have a VIN on it and before you drop money into your new project you should have checked out. You don’t know if it is hot, scrapped unless you have a good title for it and I hope you do. Because as far as the DOT is concerned your old truck will be a rebodied Dakota pickup.

    Rear leaf spring "tensioner"??

    Why is there no photos, I’m truly interested in what the your talking about but I’m having trouble visualizing what you are talking about. Having worked on a scraped far too many A B C and F/M body mopars and haven’t seen anything like what you are describing. Post a damn picture.

    Rear leaf spring "tensioner"??

    Without photos it doesn’t exist, it’s just BS… You can get pictures or screenshots of anything and post them here so after being asked for several times and no pictures, I say it’s Bull Shit.

    Frustrated - Front Brake Issue

    It could be that you have a leak at one of your fittings, I got into a Corvette that I had trouble getting a non factory joint to seal. It didn’t leak fluid but it did air.

    Frustrated - Front Brake Issue

    I can’t remember if you can get the calipers on the incorrect side of the car on the mopar or not but make sure the bleeders are at the top of the caliper.

    How would I reattach drooping headliner without taking it out, replacing it, or... thumbtacks

    I’ve done this before a couple of times, remove the trim from the edges of the headliner then remove the fabric and scrape off the foam. Clean the cardboard base and then you could apply either a thin layer of foam first then a layer of fabric or a new layer of fabric that matches your interior...

    Swap sears to buckets.

    I put race buckets in my Volare, the LT or driver side is like any other mopar but the RT floor pan is significant higher nere the LT seat mount for the RT seat, your approach to remedy this problem will need to start by identifying the correct height of the Lt track on the passenger seat. You...

    I had a Volare Premier wagon without wood grain, they could be had either way. I bought it low mileage at ten years old and the wife only drove it for a year. I should have never sold it, one of the few cars that I regret selling.

    Can this be done ?

    I just buy the Motorcraft filters they fit my Fords and Mopar. I don’t buy the long lasting synthetic filters anymore I believe in changing the filter half way through the oils life simulator to diesel oil changes.

    The torsion bars will not be a problem, you might need or want to adjust them after the swap is completed.

    Dodge Aspen tech info wanted

    Front and rear brakes should be the same the rear springs seam to be random but I’m not sure. Basically you’re looking at engine and transmission and transmission is only because of bolt pattern. Engine motor mounts will need to be the conversion mounts offered and you will need a V8 radiator...
