Joe,
Please let me know if you need more measurements or pics. The stowage clip shown below was a reproduction effort between Bill Edwards and someone else done years ago from my understanding. Supposedly a limited run was completed before Bill's health went downhill. I verified the Pontonier...
C15 on the fender tag. I know of a few 70 Challengers with said option, both cars have the rear seat single stowage clips but no stowage clips were ever mounted on the front seats. Both cars have original front and rear seat covers.
Joe,
Is the image you posted of the dual stowage clip for the deluxe seatbelts (plastic cover with white stripe)? They mount to the front seat correct?
Searching for 1970 ~ 1971 Challenger wide rocker moulding(s). I need the left (drivers side), willing to buy both sides if required. I'm not looking for aftermarket at this time.
Thank you
M.
Hi Ron,
What's the other side of the chrome latch look like? Any pitting? Is it American Safety or Pontonier? If there's no pitting on the buckle and its stamped P-535 I'll take both items.
Thank you
M.
I thought prices were required per site rules ... but I can't seem to find said rules. I'm not the forum police and don't care to be. Best of luck with your sale (sincerely).
Thank you @6PKRTSE for posting a pic. I zoomed in and cropped the image. The molding appears to be shaped a little different at the end compared to the images I found of original pieces. Very few people (if any) will notice there's a difference.
Any closeup pics you can share are appreciated. I have a single rocker molding I think is original given the edges are pretty sharp but man it feels flimsy. I've not tried to mount it on the car yet but have heard they can be a huge pain?
Here's a zoomed/cropped image of a repo set advertised for sale back in 2022 by a fellow forum member: SOLD - 1970-71 Repop Challenger Rocker Molding
I'm not sure if the edge detail is typical of repo's or if it's the result of prior use?
Does anyone have an aftermarket 1970 Challenger wide rocker moulding they can post a few closeup images of? I was told the lines on the original moulding edges are more crisp and the metal a little thicker compared to aftermarket. Although the aforementioned info is helpful, I'm hoping to get...
I have two E-Body automatic consoles. One was cast mid-year 1969 and other 1970. No holes in either side. I came across a console on Marketplace cast in 1972 with said strap.
"These days, we have you tube video and online forums to nurse us through anything we cannot figure out." My thoughts/hopes exactly. I'll probably wait until after summer to remove the entire drive train. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for everyone's input, it's been very helpful.
Thanks Guys!
I looked up both books, I'll order the "Chrysler Torqueflite A-904 & A-727 Transmissions".
The price of the Carl Munroe book surprised the heck out of me. $12 for a kindle version and hundreds of dollars everywhere I looked for paperback, ouch! I'll have to see if we still...
Thank you for your helpful post. I do have the book you referenced on my list of things to order. I don't want to fool myself but rebuilding a stock 727 doesn't look crazy difficult. I'll find out once I start disassembling the car. One of the hurdles I'm sure I'll have to cross will be how...
Thank you @pschlosser. Although it's not what I really wanted to hear I at least have an idea of what's ahead of me. Ugh! The "PK" number is PK3410672L 29 [that's all I can see at the moment]. Theirs also a large casting number visible from the engine bay by the firewall, it looks like...
I spent a little time looking through the parts manual for numbers related to valve bodies but got a little lost. I'm trying to find casting/part numbers for 727 valve body used with a 440-6 engine. I may be assuming incorrectly that the valve body would be different depending on the engine...
The original transmission in my car was switched to a reverse manual valve body. I'd like to revert back to stock. What is typically involved when changing to a reverse manual valve body? Is it only a valve body swap and removal of kickdown linkage? I see references in the rebuild kit...
