NV69B7RR master Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 6,005 Reno, Nevada	Would options not listed on the fender tag be an LA plant thing as well? I ask because my Duster has disc brakes and 3spd wipers but its not listed on the tag? Would it be correct to assume that to correctly restore the underside (floor pans) it would be black with red overspray? Has anybody restored an LA car correctly, and is there pics/ website anywhere showing it? 72 Demon 340 71 Duster 340 Resto https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1

Only if it were power disc (B51)it would show on the fender tag, it sould show j25 for 3 spd wiper though. right?

Wiring to the pump is there and untouched factory wires. The car is pretty much unmolested and stock. No evidence on the floor of a foot pump being screwed in at one time either. Also it should be code B41 for the disc brakes, non power. 72 Demon 340 71 Duster 340 Resto https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1

Yes, just like all mopars of that era did, they were all dipped up to about the upper door hinge before comming out of the coating tank. The only thing really unique about the LA cars is that most if not all of them had a black colored dip, and that it is now looking like many of them had no forward undercoating which would have hidden/burried the dip line.
