There are a few. The 4wd trucks often had axle shafts with the 5 on 5 1/2" bolt circle. The leaf spring mounts are on top of the housing, not the bottom. Some 3rd members were not drilled for a pinion snubber.

If/When I get one, I want a 4 door. Everything else I own is a 2 door, I want something different.

I don't think they allow email addresses to be posted out in the open.

My topics on these forums are not the usual ones like: *What is a good cam for my 440? *What oil should I use? *Why did Mopars have ballast resistors?

A guy posted these pictures in a thread at FABO: Come to think of it, I am starting to remember these switches under the dash...

I've seen those air blowing fans that fit where a 6 x 9 speaker usually does, sometimes even in between the speakers....to me that would be a "defogger" but we often have different terms for the same thing. I've seen those in B and C body cars. Here are the panels in 2 of my '70 Chargers...

I have never seen any A body with anything but a fan motor in the rear speaker deck. Never the one embedded in the glass that gets heated. I'm not far from Reno and Tahoe where they do get snow. Not every car that ends up here started here either.

That was a lot to copy and paste. Maybe since I'm on the other end of the country, our standards were different. I find it strange though that they could mandate something that may not have been available on some cars. Have you seen a 74-76 Dart or Valiant with a rear window defroster?

I find that impossible to believe. Not every car built from 1974 onward had a rear window defroster. I know of NO Dart/Valiant/Duster that had them, my 76 Camaro didn't, the numerous other Camaro and Firebirds didn't, no truck ever did either.

Is this something new? I know that the Bureau of Automotive Repair places weird restrictions and practices on repair shops. Several years ago, I read they required all shops to do a tire pressure check even if they were in for something completely UNrelated to the tires. Is that happening here...

This guy I know buys condoms at Harbor Freight and is shocked each time his wife announces a new kid is on the way. They are not all bad. Some of their stuff works well but for something more complicated like this, I'd skip their products. Cheap wrenches. cutoff discs, paint guns, bungee cords...

I decided to give this one a try: Here we go. This is compact enough to sit almost anywhere and not weigh 50 lbs. Looks simple. If all fails, there are directions. Charging port on one end, jumper cable ports on the other. Common electrical ports. Simple charger unit. It was...

Reasons like the above are why some people tolerate the terrible policies of states like California.

Thanks, guys. I will never live or vacation anywhere that gets near zero. I don't like the cold and see absolutely zero reason to be where it is like that. I like warm weather. I can tolerate 120 degrees as long as I have some shade and water. It gets below 40 and my mood goes into the toilet. I...

I readily admit that I am not the type to be at the cutting edge of anything. I stick with what I like, what works for me. I am always resistant to new things unless they prove to be superior to what I've used before. I used to use one of those "Slap Chop" manual food processors until I tried...
