I'm not excited about it, but I'm placing my 1979 Lebaron on the block... Typical in equipment, but somewhat atypical with regard to mileage and condition as far as I know, it's got 79,3XX original miles and it shows. 318/904, 7.25" rear. This is a good, quality, driver-condition car and all...

I'm about to pull the dash apart on my 79 Lebaron and wanted to replace a few (or maybe all) of the bulbs. I want to stay w the OEM type bulb/cover setup, but there's a preponderance of Chinese-made crap on the market and I'm just wondering if theres any particular brand you like to stay away...

I'm looking to replace the single dash mounted speaker but I want to get the right one the first time. I've seen universal 8 ohm speakers for older cars, the newer aftermarket stuff all seems to be 4 ohms. My car is a 79, not antique but not modern-era either so I'm not sure which one I'll need...

I'm not even sure what to call this... It's the right side quarter panel trim relector... red, for a 79 Lebaron. It appears mine fell off at some point. It's a small detail, but I like to stay on top of those... "Broken Window Theory". Sorry for the fuzzy pic. My camera lens is cracked so it...

Just me putting a current dilemma in writing... sometimes it helps to clarify things so please bear w me. My other "old car" is a 76 F150 4x4. It's unique in that it's a fairly rare and all original Flareside (step side). It's been parked at my buddy's place for a year while I've had the engine...

The chrome on my grille is peeling off so I'd like to replace it rather than searching-out a chrome shop, paying shipping, possibly getting subpar results, etc. I'd even be open to a full header/light/grille (front end) setup from a similar Diplomat if the shipping is "reasonable". I don't...

Not mine, but it got my attention: 1976 dodge aspen 340 4 speed

This is specifically in reference to my '79 Lebaron's top... there are no seams like I've seen on full vinyl tops so I'm wondering if it's a manufacturing process for these or is it just stretched and shrunk to fit, cut out the windows, glue, trim, etc etc?

Some of you have taken the plunge... put larger diameter wheels and tires on your F, M, or J body car(s). I've seen some pictures on the forum, but they're scattered around in various threads covering myriad subjects. Maybe we can consolidate them here for easy reference. Doesn't matter if it's...

Looks very clean. Our best kept secret here in the PNW is rust-free sheet metal. Not as dry as AZ or SoCal, but we don't use salt on the roads... might hurt the fishies or something. Clean 1978 Dodge Aspen 4-Dr Station Wagon ~ Slant Six Low Miles

In August I'll be taking my 79 Lebaron on its first road trip. Only about 300 mi, but still far enough that I need to get some prepping done since we don't know each other all that well yet. Fluid changes are imminent, I'm figuring temps at 90° or better so what engine and gear oil would you...

I just noticed this yesterday... as soon as the trans shifts into 3rd, there it is. Let off the gas... gone Back on it... dang. It's extremely subtle. So subtle that I had to convince myself that it was real and not just exhaust rumblies. In fact, if the other two gears weren't so smooth, I'd...

I was messing around at FBBO today and came across a post I made from 2014 or 2015 that had a link to my old Photobucket account and, HOLY COW! IT WORKED! So I found a couple of old shots of my 76 Cordoba's gauge panel and what I did w it. Nothing ground-breaking... just some hammertone copper...

I'm talking about... chrome tape. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006RNW5NE#Ask Certain parts of my grille are peeling... it almost looks like they used this stuff at the factory. The adjoining headlight/signal bezels are great, it's just the grille. Rechroming is the...

My state (OR) allows for the use of vintage lic plates on "Special Interest" vehicles so I always end up doing some ebay scrounging looking for a correct-year plate. "SP" (special purpose) registration also does away with the (stupid, imo) requirement for a front plate. I just bought a...

Don't read this. It's a long-winded stream-of-consciousness ramble. I'm a trucker and I drive at night. Doing this through the featureless eastern Oregon and western Idaho high desert has its perils... one of which is thinking too much. Having a 4-wheeled blank canvas (or 3. Or 4) sitting at...

I bought a glove box door on ebay because I wanted the lock (mine was stripped). $4 + $7 shipping... awesome. Problem is... no key. After relentless fiddling I conceeded that, without the key, this simple job was not so simple. I took both doors to a locksmith figuring it would be a walk in the...

This glove box door is all steel, dark red, and freakin perfect. I think it came from a B-body Cordoba or Magnum... it looks like the one I had in my '76. I just need the latch/lock mechanism. I pd 4 bucks plus 7 bucks shipping but I see on the box that shipping cost the poor guy almost 20...

Does anybody know the part #, or even better, a cross reference to other models that will fit an M body? New units are spendy, I'd be happy with a nice used piece. The problem is finding one (used) specifically for an M body is proving to be a challenge, which is the reason for the cross...

I read through the two threads I found regarding replacement speakers... good stuff. I learned about the 4ohm vs 8ohm speakers, something I didn't know before. I found these guys... Classic Car Speakers and it seems that they may have what I need. The only problem is... I don't know what I...

... what do you use? Seems like a pretty basic question (it is). Nowadays there's a few different kinds of Dex/Merc, Type F (I use that in my Ferds), and overpriced dedicated PS fluid. Any secret sauce for long pump life?

Has anybody ever seen this? Specifically, I'm talking about F-body Supercoupe flares on an M-body coupe... Yeah, I get that it sounds goofy, but with the parts-sharing of the F and M bodies, I just wonder if it's possible. It might take some mods to make it look right. My vision always includes...

As I figured, finding an aftermarket F or M body 4-sp tunnel hump isnt going to happen. Has anybody used an A, B, or E-body shifter hump? What's the closest fit that will require the least amt of bending, hammering, and cutting? Even better would be a "close enough" match from a GM product...

Not exactly an EPIC journey... it was less than 5 miles from me. I made a quick swing by the seller's house yesterday to pay the balance (minus the deposit I left on Sunday) and to get the title and keys so I wouldn't bother him at a ridiculous hour today. A 0400 $13 Uber ride got me there this...
