Mack Metcalf and his '72 Dodge Charger are the latest to have help from our Driveway Rescue team. This time, Mike and Pat head out with the Nissan van filled with RockAuto.com parts and see how they can lend a hand.
The main issues with Mack's car are the cracked dash and it's running hot. But along with the cooling system, belts, and dash, the guys also help him out with some new shocks to help it ride smoother.
Thanks to RockAuto.com and Nissan we're able to bring the van full of parts needed to help these viewers out. Be sure to enter your vehicle for Driveway Rescue here. #RockAuto #Nissan #IntelligentMobility

In the beginning he says “it has a huge overheating problem, it doesn’t like leaving the driveway” then says “he daily drives it to work” whattttt

Well to be fair, he only said it doesn't like leaving the driveway, not that it doesn't leave the driveway at all.

@randyhammett4467 3 года назад

Considering it's age someone went to the junkyard and found some '73-'74 taillights and maybe that Rallye hood. It is a big block engine. It probably overheats once it gets out of the driveway and takes longer to get to work. Don't forget Rock Auto is sponsoring the segment. No problem drilling hole in t'stat. Finding parts for body of '72 is harder than the more plentiful '73-'74 models. A lot will interchange. Let's don't nitpick a daily driver.

@kj197734 5 лет назад

Rockauto, rockauto, rockauto, and more rockauto. I think we get it that you can get parts from rockauto. I just don't get how all of these people buy all of these vehicles and don't have any clue to change parts. Especially when it is a classic car that parts are easy to change.

@chargerdave2046 5 лет назад

Just curious, are you planning on trying to get him a proper front and rear bumper plus grilles and taillights ?. Would look a tad nicer with the 72 set up.

@SophiaAphrodite 4 года назад

1972 had 3 different styles of grilles and tail lights depending on the model and production month. Front had the hideaway, the grille with a silver loop, to the black out loop and black out and typical 73' style grille. Same with the tail lights. They varied from the solid, to the angled, to the 73' versions some blacked out and some not. My guess this was a late production model.

@robvoyles 2 года назад

it is the correct grills and tail lights.

Can't believe you were right there an didn't do the timing chain set ??? Now when it goes out and usually soon. It all comes back off agin and will cost him an arm an a leg to have done !!! And what 6,8 more bolts an future problem solved !!!!! Some people just have to learn the hard way !!!

@petersouthernboy6327 5 лет назад

I agree that timing chains are wear items - but it’s certainly more involved than “6-8 more bolts”. You have to drop the front of the oil pan, the front crossmember, and pull the crankshaft dampener.

its a 73 or 74 but its not a 72 i had one and the front grill had round head light rings those are a 73 head light rings and the tail lights are not a 72 i look in the junk yard for a new tail light and it was different your project is a 73 to a 75 72 was the only year of the tail lights it had

@chetparker8251 5 лет назад

No, it's a '72 with '73 or '74 grille and taillights put on it - just like several earlier comment posters have said. Check out the side rear window shape. That shape was only available on the '72 (and '71) models.

@chetparker8251 5 лет назад

@@robertcard8200 Good question, but one that you would have to ask the owner. However, if I had to guess I'd say the car had an accident back in the day and the 1973 parts were available cheaper and/or more locally than the 1972 parts as repair items.
