Hi everybody, I know that it's not a truck but parts can be the same. For the first time I am looking for an US car that is not a truck. It's a lovely unmolested 1938 Chrysler Royal C18. It was imported from Oregon to France few years ago. The buyer was very happy with it and drove many miles...

Plastic panels are not so hard to repair. But the first thing to do is to remove the cause of the heating. The heat comes from the poor connection between the gauge and the screw. Tin soldering can solve the problem. Silver grease on lugs and nuts can help too when wiring back

I can say plastic panels started in 1976. The blue Dodge is a 75 and it has a metal panel. The two orange are 76 models and they have a plastic panel

If you plan to fill your tank, it is the best opportunity to read the signal from the sender unit, before and after the tank is full. You will know if you need a 73-10 gauge or a 0-90 gauge

If you read 64 ohms for 3/4 of a tank, this gauge can't fit your véhicule. You need a 0-90 ohms gauge (0 empty; 90 full) Your gauge ref is 7361, you should buy the 7362 Equus 7362

I found one glove box liner last week on Craiglist for $20. The guy was outside but ok to ship oversea. On friday when he came back home he told me the glove box was sold to a nearby buyer. I saw a black one one ebay but asking $99 without shipping :( The white fiber glass body you can see is...

Lot of rain last days, in Normandy we say it's raining like cow pissing :) Don't know if it's the same on your side

Yes I live on the bad side of the ocean ;)

The plastic glove boxes on my '79 Ramcharger and my '76 D200 are definitively roasted. I tried to find some new one for replacement with no success. Fortunatly, I met a fiberglass artist who molded the inside of the last glove box I had. A black one, perhaps they are stronger than transparent...

Some of them are sold. The '72 D100 with lettering and the green '78 D150 are now in Brittany. There is a club "the American Breizh Cars" which members appreciate the Philoctet's touch ;o) The '76 D100 Utiline and the '76 D200 Club cab will probably follow the same way

Earlier model don't melt but not sure it can replace a 74-79 model without some little work

You need to put your tank upside down ;)

Interesting product but price is not enough friendly to buy one just for testing :(

If you have trouble with your after market gauge it's possible to fix an old original one. Even with a bad looking exterior, the interior is often still operational Most problems come from connection between inside and outside of the tank. It can be fix easily by tin soldering Check...
