When did the core support get repainted with the black? That yellow sticker on the top did not come from the factory with black paint on it. I think those stickers may have been Black under the Yellow. They turn Black when the Yellow comes off. At first I thought the same but it looks more like it ...

...Mr Mopar....what is the red paint on the edge of your hood? Was the truck originally red? I painted a stripe below the bodyline... http://www.mrmopar.com/1970DodgeTruck/800/2013-01-05_011.jpg I just looked thru my photo albums of junkyard trucks and my trucks.

When did the core support get repainted with the black? That yellow sticker on the top did not come from the factory with black paint on it. John, I have a stack of inner splash guards in the garage, none are painted. I don't think that is paint but will look at that and other details this weekend....

In Alan's pics, the hood had to be on, as well as the hinges, because the hood bolts are also painted. The lower splash shield are painted. If someone painted this stuff they did a damn good job of it, pulled the engine and all the electrical, brakes, even stuff under the dash as there is a bolt fr...

In Alan's pic, all the bolts are painted too. Hinges as well as fenders to cab. That is not normal, nor is one painted spring and one unpainted. Are we to believe the truck is first assembled, with hood and fenders attached, THEN painted??? That is how the cars are painted. I don't get the one spri...

I guess I need to pull one of these to prove there is no reason a 80,000 mile truck with no other work has hinges that have been painted.

My 70 is painted with one bare spring on each http://www.mrmopar.com/2014/04/800/2014-04-13_002.jpg http://www.mrmopar.com/2014/04/800/2014-04-13_003.jpg http://www.mrmopar.com/2014/04/800/2014-04-13_004.jpg http://www.mrmopar.com/2014/04/800/2014-04-13_005.jpg This is a low mile survivor, I see no...

Hemmings online reported Rick Hendrick bought them.

I wonder if he's a "closet" MoPar guy?
John

He also got a 68 Sox & Martin Barracuda along with some Ford

My 67 Barracuda has these, I just had aluminum ones made, work great

Hey All, At 12 years old I figured it was time to let her behind the wheel. Now for the rest of her life she will say " I learned to drive in a 68' Dodge truck". If she can learn without power brakes, power streering and lots of noise she can drive anyting. I don't know how she did it but she stall...

Good info, I'll need to check mine.

You use the drum backing plate bolts. On the 8 lug two of the bolts needed to be machined per the instructions.

Alan

Once you have the adapter plate bolted on you will slide the caliper on to the rotor in the space for it in the adapter. Then the two bolts are put in, the caliper slides on these bolts and is held in place by the bracket. It should be pretty obvious when you are in there. Look at the pictures that ...

I guess I was lucky and had the problem on installation. To me both The cost of having the rotor turned and the potential life taken away. My fix cost me nothing.

Alan

I didn't see the pictures earlier as work blocks many of the hosting sites.
Now that I have seen this $1000 MAX!
This needs work!

Alan

I'd say 1000 tops, in this area (western states) you can get clean original ones for 1500-2000
I got lucky and found mine a 1970 D-200 383 4-speed in very good original shape for only 1000, yea I had to drive 650 miles to get it but I could drive it home!

Alan

I thought about turning the rotors but why through away money.
I wasn't happy with the pedal feel at first either but it has come in on its own, don't even think about it now.

Alan

However, I am perplexed by one thing: what does one do with the existing ammeter (stock location) connections? It appears by the diagram that maybe the existing red wire stays attached to the ammeter (and thereby gets power)... but what about the black wire?? If anyone has this factory setup and ca...
