Weird MoPar interchangability..... - 02/08/06 02:17 AM
I remember hearing a 1969 Barracuda hood would directly interchange with a 1973-1976 Dart a long time ago, though I never actually tried it so I don't KNOW it's true.
Is there any other weird interchanging that can be done...?
When I tried B body Wilwood discs on my 1969 C body front end, I found out that although my C body spindles had the Wilwood hub 1/4" farther away from the hub's base- the inner and outer bearings were the same part # and the swap was relatively easy....

That same 67 to 69 Barracuda can interchange their front and rear bumpers.
Here's one I'm sure no one will ever use but it sure came in handy for me one time ago. Driveshaft from a 72 Dart 904, 7 1/4" perfect fit into a 79 New Yorker after 440, 727 and 8 3/4" swap.
Wheels of any LH car which is has a metric 5 x 114 mm will fit our 5 by 4.5". The center register is a nice snug fit too. Caution: Don't try this at home the offset is

Re: Weird MoPar interchangability..... - 02/08/06 03:39 AM
Haha!
Reminds me of my J body 1980 Cordoba LS- I met a guy at a swap meet, and talking with him, I told him I had an 8 3/4" rear end, a 440, and a 727 transplanted into my car.
He then told me to find a long box 70's ClubCab Dodge pickup, and take the rear half of the two piece driveshaft, and it would bolt right in.
Skeptical, I bought one at the wrecker, and sure enough.....

I believe I read once upon a time that on a Chrysler Airflow, the right front and left rear doors will interchange as well as the left front and right rear. I know, not much use to most of us but I thought it was interesting!

Also, a Ford dust cap cover for the wheel bearings from parts store will fit also. The Mopar one was too small...

Defroster vents from '71-up pickups and vans work on '63-'66 A bodys. Door arm rests from vans work on 4dr B bodys...probably others. The round dome light covers are found in alot of different models. Pedal dress up trim found on alot of Mopars work on B bodys. Remote trunk release from M bodys work on earlier cars. Inside door handles, window crank handles from trucks and vans work on B bodys.
Guess if it works, why change it?

was told that the front left fender lower portion (body line and below) would interchange with the right rear quarter panel (body line and below) and same for other diagonal swap. This for plymouth cudas 70-74. have not tried this but eyeballing it it looks convincing.

It's probably just the same as most any of the square-back ALT's. It's two wire, and externally regulated. Probably something like 60A, which is about what you get from the parts hous if you ask for a 74 Swinger 318 with A/C...
My 86 Shelby Charger uses a similar looking ALT, also square back and dual wire externally regulated. It's got a thin metal ring in the middle, like 1/8" wide, where the "normal" old-skool ALT is about 1/2" wide. This is supposedly a higher-rated ALT, but I don't recall how high. That one would require a pulley swap, but I bet it's a direct swap. FWIW, the power module behind the battery is what controls the ALT output. Mine took a dump a bunch of years ago, and I simply pulled the two wires that that ran the ALT and plugged them in to a typical fender-mount electronic regulator. Worked great for a few years until I found another good PM.
Also, the REAR dust caps, nuts, key washers, and adjuster nuts on Dodge Daytonas (87-89 at least) are perfect fits for the FRONT dust caps on big bolt pattern disks, AKA, Darts, Challengers, and the cop rotors.

70-74 E-body console latches are the same as a mid-late 70's Dodge Truck or Van glove box latch
70-71 Dart side marker mouting brackets are the same as a 70-71 Challenger
70-71 Dart uses the same 100 Jack hook as a 70-71 cuda

I can verify the 73-74 Dart/69 Barracuda hood swap...did it.
How about BigBlock "umbrella" valve seals for windsheild wiper post gaskets on 66-70 B bodies....
Or A-100 seats in Superstockers?...
Or 70 Charger Hoods and fenders on Daytonas, as well as 70 Coronet hoods and fenders on Superbirds?
Or, the door glass on a 68-70 Coronet/Belvedere also fits 68-70 Chargers?
Pretty well ALL of the consoles in B and C bodies of each year are the same...
Back-up lights on a 69 Roadrunner bumper...same as 69 Charger rear valance...(?)
Almost all 1969 Chryco vehicles have the same side reflectors....

I had miss placed the front turn signals for my 66 dart.Looking around in my parts I found a pair of what I though might be them. They had the same screw mounting patern,and the same electrical hookups, but were not an exact fit,
they went in but had some space showing on the sides. These were from a 1959 Ford:hammer I have since found the correct ones but have not changed them

'90s Imperial window motors work perfectly in '64-'66 Imperials. The later motor is in a bunch of other Mopars that I forget. Late '80s trucks, I think.

Radio's were interchangeable for years and years. My buddy had a later model (caravan?) radio in his '75 Dodge shortbed and dad had an AM/FM out of a '79 TC3 in his '75 Dodge pickup.

However, you can use the internals with the parking tab exception. As far I remember the tab is attached or riveted to parking system housing so makes imposible to use the housing for that reason.

Just bought a Buick Park Avenue and tried to use the winter rim/tires from my old Chrysler LHS.
It may fit but it's not an exact match. The bolt pattern is off a few thou and you are actually bending the studs into place. Tighten 3 nuts beside each other and watch the 4rth and 5th one go on.

Didn't see these sooooo....
Easy one 70-6 A-body sport mirrors switch bases and they become '70 E-body only mirrors..
Easy #2 68 coronet grille same As 69 Charger 500
#3 Some mid sixties slant 6 air cleaner lids are the same as the 64 big block lids and just like the chrome version 273 commando air cleaners...
Next one little harder '68 Valiant front park lamps same as '69 Daytona Charger...
Hard one '70-2 Dart/Valiant a/c water valve is the same as 71-2 B-body Strato vent valve...
That's all for now...

mmmmm, two opinions ( just opinions ) about that.
70 cup shape is diff than 71 and laters ( on ANY body ), being outer curves more sharpened to 70s
then also the recesed area to fit pedestal on cup... I don't think will match the angle and shape.
dunno what pieces exactly I found the difference, but is a fact I tried to make a mix betwen some mirrors and the recesed area on cup didn't match, and they were all 71 and laters B bodies units, so If this is for same cup shape and just year difference, you can imagine between diff cup shape, and even more on diff body

Aren't 67-72 Dart doors skins the same? Maybe more A-bodues? And the doors swap physically but there is a 69 up door lock location change and 68 up vent latch change??
I think the door skin may event fit up to 76 Dart/Scamp. And might swap with two door post Valiants and Darts???

I've found all of the numbermatching bigblock Mopar engine blocks from highdollar '69/'70 Mopars fit my fullsize Chryslers just fine and are even more fun to drive and abuse...
The larger B-body poly-urethane leafspring frontbushings fit '65 C-bodies just fine aswell.
The smaller bushings fit earlier Chryslers just aswell.
All poly shackle-bushings interchange aswell.
Same goes for poly-urethane strutrod bushings although the inner ones have to be ground down.

Turn signal switch and canceling cam from up to 1976 Dodge Vans will work in a 65' Coronet Steering column.
With no modification? Do you know the Part number? Would like to try that at a dealer.
Me three!
what about the hazzard button, being on column since 70 ?
I can't recall really where is on Vans/trucks
The hazard switch knob is located at the 4-o'clock position on a truck/van. I used a D/W series TSS (turn signal switch) in my '77 B van for a few years. The knob shape and color are different- red and cylindrical on the van TSS, and black and rectangular for the D/W series pickups. I think the plug and wires were the same, too, but I won't guarantee that.
As mentioned above the B-van armrests (and bases) will interchange with many B-bodies, and the plastic dash vents are used on '71-'77 B-vans, '72-'80 pickups, '63-'66(?) A-bodies.
The rubber floor shifter boot and chrome trim ring are the same for '75.5-'86 B vans, '70-'76 A-bodies, and '76-'80 F-dodies. Might be used on M-bodies and late B-bodies with the A-833 4-speed, too.
Intermittent wiper control boxes are very interchangeable. Vans, F-bodies, late B-bodies, etc.
Late B-body and F-body Sport mirrors interchange, both chrome and painted.
If the '77 Parts book is accurate, the rear liftgate seal for '76-early '77 F-body wagons is the same as the trunk seal used on late B-body Fury/Monacos.
As mentioned above, dome light lenses and bases (both round and square types) interchange over many different models.
Tuff wheel adapters from A/F/J/M bodies interchange (maybe trucks w/o P/S. too?)
I'm 99% sure the base three spoke steering wheel and round horn pad used in A-bodies was carried over and used in F-bodies, too. ..and maybe used on D/W series trucks, too?
A-series van headlight trim rings used on '66-'70(?, single h/l grilles w/o the aluminum grille) pickups?

They are close but not perfect. The 5 on 4 patterns is like a 101.6mm as opposed to a 100mm BC. They fit but the cone style nuts are going to gall something. If the center register is the same, maybe.
I also heard the Viper shared the same defroster vents as my '65 Barracuda
A Hurst Pro-Matic 2 shifter fits perfectly and looks stock under a '65 A console if you trim the old mount off the hump, needed to change from the cable operated trans of '65

F/J/M bodies are so similar, you can swap front doors and windshield between a 1989 Fifth Avenue and 1976 Dodge Aspen.
Headlight switch was common for many years, noticed this when I replaced one in a 1994 Spirit and it looked very much like the switch in my 76 Power Wagon.
As mentioned earlier, the big square radios interchange from the early 70s thru 2001 on many models. I have late model radios with CD in both my 76 Power Wagons.
Several years, the 2.5L Dakota 4cyl engine was the AMC design used as the base Jeep engine for many years.
Driveshaft out of early 80s J body Mirada, 318/auto, fit perfectly in my 67 R/T with 440/727 and 8 3/4!
Many parts interchange amongst all the EEK (every extended k car).

The window glass is totally different from the Duster/Demon/Dart Sport cars compared to the Hardtop or sedan models. You cannot have vent windows in a Duster.
The headlight door motor from a mid 70s and up Chrysler will work in a 70 Charger.
Omni/Horizon rear arm rest pads are the same as 73-76 2 door A body cars.
The brake master cylinders will interchange many, many years including the mid 70s to early 80s aluminum body units.
the 67-72 Valiant rear bumper will fit a 67-69 Dart, but the contours are different.
69 Valiant grille fits a 70-72 Duster/Valiant with minor mods.
FMJ cop car rear sway bars will fit into 67-76 A bodies with minor mods.
73-87 Chevy trucK front sway bars will fit in 70-72 B bodies and 73-76 A bodies with minor mods. These bars were either 1 inch or 1.25 depending on 1/2 or 3/4-1 ton rating.

Speaking of Chevys, many years Dodge trucks used Saginaw (GM) power steering pumps, the same units used by Chevy/GMC trucks of the same years.
Chevy/GMC 4x4s have used New Process/New Venture Gear transfer cases (Chrysler) for many years. In the '70s, all the Big 3 (including Ford) used the NP203 full time t-case in the same years (75-79)
Although, the same basic internals but not the exact same unit, as they are married to the transmission and specific each to Dodge, GM and Ford. Ford used an opposite side case, too, with the front driveshaft on the driver's side, whereas Dodge and GM used cases with the front shaft on the passenger side. Front driveshafts interchange between Chevy and Dodge in those years. Front axles interchange, but are not the same, as they use different brakes, hubs and bearings.

1980s Dodge trucks with tilt steering columns used GM columns for many years, including GM style keys and lock cylinders.

My 79 Maxivan has a GM column. And a key just like my 72 Duster.

only skimmed through the thread but did anyone mention that the '68 - '70 B-body Dodge and Plymouth doors (Sat, Belv, RR, GTX, Cor, R/T, Sup Bee,....) are the same except for the lock button position on the '68's.........and I think if it wasn't for the "scallops" on the Charger doors the same would apply there too....

Here are a few oldies.
1966-72 c-body, 1966-72-b-body, 1970-72 e-body 383/440 engine mounting brackets are all the same.
1973 C-body disc brakes will fit 1966-1972 c-bodies.
1966-69 b-body k-members can be replaced with 1970-74 e/1970-2 b-body k-members for cheaper suspension upgrades and better handeling. 1973-74 e-body brakes use the cheaper rotors too.
8 1/4 and 9 1/4 will fit earlier 8 3/4 rears, bolt right on.
a-body 8.75 rears and early b-body rear will fit nearly perfect in 1930's street rods (unsure what models fit with what though).
1974-80 ramcharger/traildusters came with 15x8 rims and will fit nicely on rear of mopars with 4.5 bolt pattern.
there is probably another 60 items I can post, but don't want to let the thread die off yet.

I was told this many years ago by a knowledgeable Mopar guy, but just haven't physically verified it yet.
The chrome plated vent window frames, (wing windows) from the 1966 & 1967 B-Body 4-door cars, are the same part as the 1968 to 1970 B-Body convertible vent window frames. The 1968 to 1970 2-door hardtops & coupes are different than the convertibles, but the older 4-door cars are supposed to be a match to the convertibles. A good friend of mine has the parts so we may try this soon. Just comparing the doors side by side, the window frames look the same.

Pretty well ALL of the consoles in B and C bodies of each year are the same...
Since you capitalized ALL, a couple exceptions are:
70 Fury same as B; 70 Chrysler is different,
65 Chrysler has different top plates from B and Fury,
65 Monaco 500 extends 2-3" into the rear bench seat (which is unique),
66 Charger is full-length, 1-year-only.
Probably a few other years I overlooked.
C body consoles had a rear chrome plate that had a cigar lighter mounted in it, and the horizontal vanes were opened up so you can have elegant floor lighting in the rear of your b body console, Just switch the plate out and run some wiring.

Electric trunk releases fit almost any mopar. Just run wire, add some release buttons anywhere you want and bolt the electric unit on in place of your old trunk release.

a 68(and probably other years) c-body 8.75 rear dropped right into place on the stock leaf springs of my 47 desoto, no mods at all.
