WTB Needing parts for 74 Cuda

[LemonHead]

Hey everyone I’m new to the forum but looking for some parts to finish this project up. Looking for top door trim (all 4 pieces), drivers side headlight bucket and mount. Possibly a new dimmer switch and wiper switch (with knobs).
Thanks in advance!

What is the color? GK6? Looks great

Nissan EBB. The burnt orange you see on the rouges. It’s more of a resto mod so be gentle (for the die hard moparians). The owners are original owners and are not by any means number matching people.

Nice looking car. Can't help on the parts, but who did the dash cover? Leather?

an upholstery shop local here. I had them wrap the dash and seats in UV boat material with orange stitching to match the car.

Just asking, because it looks like my 71 GK6 original. Get looking car!

The BS23G4B is kind of a rare car. She looks really good. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Looks great. Approximate cost? I think there are a few shops around here that may be able to handle that.

Anyone know if 73 Challenger headlight buckets will interchange with a 74 Cuda. I have a couple here I could donate to this car if they will interchange.

From what I have found 71 was the odd ball year besides the dual headlight buckets. 71 were welded and 72-74 are bolted. As for challenger vs cuda I’m not sure.

I think upholstery work front back and dash ran me around 2k

Howdy Here are pictures of switches and trim. Let me know if they aren't usable.
Thank you

I have the interior trim I was looking for the top of the door trim the cudas came with.(sorry if I didn’t clarify) How does the potentiometer look on the dimmer switch?

If you find they'll interchange I'll send you a couple for the postage together to you.

The top door belt molding as it is called is anodized alum and did not hold up well as original. If you could find original, it would be hard to repair and re anodize. Reproductions are made along with the plastic clips that hold them on. I’m not sure of the quality but try several of the big mopar suppliers. I’m sure they come from the same source. Just look for “ 70 Cuda belt molding” . The switches are better off sent sent off to repair. Devin Duke is who I use. I’m not sure if I can post his number here on open forum so you may have to pm me if I can’t. You have a two speed wiper and you need to make sure your switch is a two speed as well.

His engine bay has a 2 speed wiper motor in his picture. +1 for Devin as well.

Thanks for the info, didn’t know about the old vs re pop trim, I will try that route again. Everyone was back ordered on that as of a few months ago. If I get to the point of needing switches rebuilt I will get intouch with you!
