Yep, Crazy $$$. Keep looking Brother it’s a Treasure Hunt. Check all the web sites and Mopar Swap Meets. Also post here in WTB, you will be amazed at what members have to sell. 🌴

DMoore, Very Nice Fish! I’m sure we can all relate to sourcing parts and costs. 1970 has many parts that are one year only. Hard to source and expensive. Some of your old parts can be restored for far less and actually be way better than reproduction parts. The Master Brake Cylinder $$$ is one...

Cool Suspension Photo, wish mine would have came with the 340 or 383. Having put the Sway Bars on front & back has really made a difference. Even with my little LA 318 it firmed up the ride nicely. 🌴

Follow up on Sway Bar install. Got some time and installed the correct Sway Bar. Photos attached. Thanks again for all your input and sharing your knowledge. Helped considerably. 🌴

Just following up on my rear Sway Bar install. I finally got some time and finished the installation. Photo attached. Thank you again for all your input and sharing your knowledge. 🌴

Absolutely, very good point those vert windows aren’t cheap to replace. I can see that once the door is adjusted the quarter window and passenger window will need to be readjusted too. 🌴

Thank you, that’s good to know. If it will adjust to the right a 1/4 inch it should pull my door into proper alignment. I checked my 1970 Service Manual also it’s really vague on the Striker Bolt & Latch Assembly. With no info on ability to make any adjustments. 🌴

Thanks Cuda Joe, looking at the Striker Post it appears to just bolt in with a fixed nut on the backside. Doesn’t look like it can be adjusted inward or outward (meaning right or left). However I could be wrong. Once I get the right bit to remove it I will see if there is any way to adjust it to...

Thank you. I’m just a backyard engineer and was thinking that either the Striker Post or Latch Assembly would pull the door in as needed. So yeah if the Post can be adjusted that should be the fix. I will give that a try. Also this door does need to be adjusted back a bit so I will use the door...

Moparleo, Thanks again! Your info is always insightful and welcome. 🌴

Appreciate the info MrCuda. I was working on the door seals when I noticed the door wasn’t aligned. The gaps are pretty good around the doors. I will attempt adjusting the door in using your advice. Regards Rob 🌴

My passenger side door does not align when shut as shown in the attached photo. The door needs to come in about a 1/4 inch. Before I start tinkering can the door latch assemble be loosened with the three Philip screws so it can be adjusted to correct the issue? Or is there another way to adjust it?🌴

Hi Kansas, I’m thinking simply go with the widest front tire that fits with no issues on a stock fish. This size tire should work on the rear as well keeping all four tires the same size in the widest configuration possible. 🌴

No the bar was positioned correctly, but it was a B Body Sway Bar not an E Body. That’s why it appeared odd. I just sourced an E Body Sway Bar so I’m good now. Here is a photo from MrCuda showing the difference. The Orange one is an E Body bar. 🌴

I found and purchased the correct Sway Bar for my Fish. Thanks again for the knowledge & support. Regards Rob🌴
