Hi Joe's Garage,

Another member here, Harvey ssj71, suggested I try https://www.springsnthings.com/ . I contacted them, and was told they no longer carry 5385, but CC501 is listed also listed as...

Rear spring replacement advice - 72GP

I need to replace my rear shocks, and I think this is the best time to finally replace the sagging rear springs. If anyone can post photos of their 69-72 GPs and advise which brand/PN springs you...

Thanks! Many years ago I had the chance to buy a black 71 or 72. It had some dents, and the engine was an Olds 350. I was quite young and didn't know my way around cars then. It was too...

Here are two shots of my 72 J. I took these pics last weekend after I put my new 15x8 w/4.5" backspacing wheels on. Tires are 245/60-15. They replaced the original 14x7 Rally IIs that had mid-90s...

I decided to go with a more factory look. I ordered a set of 15x8 Rally IIs. It will be cool to see these YO wheels get more common on our GPs though.

My first reason for considering these was the $$$ for dinky 14" and 15" tires. I don't think 17" is going anywhere for a long time.

The thought of paying the same or more for 14s/15s than I...

Thanks Matt! I'll go see what sizes and backspacing one can buy those Honeycombs. I bet they are the same as the Rally IIs.

Repro 17" Rally IIs on 69-72 GP

Does anyone here with a 69-72, preferably 71-72, GP have those repro Rally II wheels? Do you have 17x8 or 17x9? What size tires? Do you have photos you can email me or post links to? Did you have...

I agree. I am curious how the 17x8s with 4.5" backspacing fit 69-72 GPs and what tire size is ideal.

These three give me the closest overall diameter to what is on my GP now:

235/50-17 -...

Why is that your preference? Excluding the actual EFI "ecm" and other air//fuel components, what other parts or mods are required for the distributor?

Has anyone put a 4L80E into a 69-72 GP? 200-4R?

I'm strongly considering putting a 4L80E into my '72. I searched for "4L80E" in this section and only saw mention of Sirrotica putting one in his '86 GP.

My original plan was for a 200-4R, but...
