MONC, I can only supply you what Bear has originally posted in the first part of this thread. I still have my '79 LRE and have all but given up being able to visit America, sad for me as I used to go every year for my holidays, almost like a second home for me.

The Midnight Express was a single Dealer manufactured one-off truck, it was sprayed Black by them with the Gold fleck through it. They fitted up LRE Stacks and Woodwork along with a few other LRE extras. Most I believe were all Big Block Trucks, some had Stick Shifts not all Auto's. So a 440 LRE...

I own a survivor 1979 and it spent all its days in Arizona, it doesn't have the extra striping. Dealers were always willing to add options that weren't not on the original or factory parts lists. Somebody obviously fitted the sunroof and guard Giles so why not extra stripes and the Warlock...

Looks great, it always pay to start with a clean body the mechanicals can all be sorted out but a rough body can cost Mega Bucks.

To spell it out I deliberately bought lighter Pistons and Rods knowing I would have to have the rotating assembly re-balanced. I would have bought factory rods and pistons if I wasn't going to balance the rotating assembly. From memory the 273 &340 rods have fully floating pins, the 318 & 360...

Yes, I am finally able to do something, I have been rather busy lately, I am hoping to have all the machining done before Christmas so I can assemble it between working. This engine is actually not the original but one I was going to build up for my '70 Challenger. Once I have built and...

Thanks Bear this engine is to only be strong cruiser with the little bit extra from it if needed. I will be having the rotating items balanced and wondered if having lighter Pistons and Rods whether it was worth having the assembly internally balanced. I will be speaking with the guy who does my...

Thanks for your fresh approach to my question, I wouldn't consider making the pistons or rods heavier.

I am rebuilding a LA 360 using different weight pistons and rods so will need to get everything re-balanced. Question.. How much extra is it to have the crank internally balanced, that is is it major re-balancing? I am not looking for costs so don't quote me prices as I am in Australia, just...

I have searched my computor as I had a step by step "how too" but the files is corrupt will have to check through anther Hard Drive. Anyway the article I cannot even remember which site I got it off possibly Ramcharger Central involved using Van front wishbones which are reversed as against the...

I agree, you say you are interested in A Bodies, they are MOPAR's as well and we appreciate them also not just our trucks, most of us have other MOPAR's why not post a picture of anything else you might have. Me I have a 1970 Challenger as well.

Very smart looking truck, did you import it or was it available new in Norway?

Great looking truck which is demonstrating that they can handle any gradient.

Great looking Trucks, we here in Australia can only dream of owning these sort of trucks as they are way too expensive once landed here.

Ain't this the truth, MOPAR people like solid hard working vehicles with the extra reliability built in. Bear you seemed to always be pushing something around and the weather has been unkind to others giving you something to do I suppose.

Great Looking Barracuda, I for one appreciate anything MOPAR owning a '70 Challenger apart from my '79 LRE. I would think getting another secondhand speedo would be the cheapest option unless you want to keep the mileage consistent, maybe transfer the gear over.

I received this in an email, but as an Aussie I cannot use it, maybe you already know about it but I have posted a link for anyone who might be able to get a cheaper mortgage through this Government offer...

Love to see your LRE, I have one myself which is about to be finally started work on. I notice you don't have the original air cleaner or is the original been put away? Bear love your truck also, it looks like it could devour all that gets in its way. Aussie

That is one cool looking truck, that color suits it as well, it is not way out like some people tend to do either. Enjoyed your pictorial explanation as well.

I hear what you are saying bikinkawboy but in my case the vehicle had NO rust and was better than new I just plain ran out of room. Several since that I owned and sold I have seen again and they are now sad sights it would make a grown man cry. One was parked on the street for 4 years under a...
