Title: Dog House

Horst---Jerry --Clock.....

I just discovered may dog house has three cracks in it....

Can any dog house fit the rig as long as it is a dodge Van in the 70's

I have seen tons of then at one of the local wrecking yards.  But want to make sure

before I buy....    Thanks---- John

I read that the dog house got redesigned for 1978 and newer. Maybe Robert knows for sure.

Ok, now that we have that cleared up...

How about the front grill????--- I got one from the wrecking yARD and it doesn't

fit..????   It looks the same But it seems as if it is not bent enough in the center...

I got it from a 77 or a 78..   John

year model 74 to 77 need a doghouse from a 440 engine to fit as far as i remember because they are wider tthan a van with a 318 or 360 engine.
