Thanks! When I type in the specific car (75 Dart) it says "Item not Found", but I would assume they were the same 73+(?)

"Item not Found"
Hang on, it is only going to get worse!

I stopped at Advance to get 2 new U joints for the driveshaft I was having shortened for my truck. When to my surprise the guy at the counter said I'm sorry, we don't carry them anymore. I say"No U-joints for a 85 Dodge truck!" He said nope! I then told him that they made 10 million vehicles that used that same joint, and he said look at my screen. And sure enough, no joints for a 1985 Dodge truck on his screen.

I said OK, give me a joint for a 69 Dodge Dart with a 340. He says, Oh yeah we got all kinds for that car. I said, yes it is the exact same joint as the truck! Give me the MOOG Professional grade one, and out the door I went. :lol:

Advance says they have the banjo bolt available to order,,

I ran the part number through their on line part fit checker, they say it does not fit a 1975 Dodge Dart,, However I know that banjo fit perfect on the 73+ front calipers I used,,

Yep... This is a growing problem, where people paid to program the database are just that programmers, they've never seen the car, don't know that the same caliper style was used from 1973 to 1980 on the A/F body, and more if you go with the M/J body.... (and most of the time some stores will not know if the unit was loaded with metal or phenolic pistons)

It's one of the reasons I keep a junkyard crossmatch in my mind so if the know-it-all, min. wage desk clerk says it won't fit, I go to the alternate that will fit... I had an O Reilly's clerk who thought she was 'all-that' tell me that the caliper for the 1974 was not the same as the one for 1976.... which might have been true 40 years ago when there was a bore difference at the time on the OEM unit...but when she pulled the two part numbers off the back shelf they were the same part in a different numbered box...piston was the same size...

To this day, if the kid behind the counter is having too much fun I will pull the alternate make, and see if they can make the connection on a simple part (i.e. peanut plugs.... "Need 6 plugs for my Boss 351.... Isn't that a V-8? Never mind kid, my ride washed out 6 of the plugs so I have to replace them. Is it in the parking lot?!?!? Yeah kid, but I need the plugs so I can limp it back home and change them out.... a few minutes later, he's scratching his head as I pile into the Duster and take off.... the best by far is ordering a slant six forged crank kit....the kid at autozone had to ask what was in the box, it weights more than a chevy crank?!?!? I said better gas mileage, and huffed it over my shoulder and out the door I went...

You gotta be your own advocate and take time to flip through the online catalogs for Dorman and various other vendor/manufacturers just to see what is there. The bad part is many over the counter places may not be able to get that part number through their warehouse and just tell you "Not Available"...Had this happen with /6 Dorman distributor gears a couple years back...thankfully Rock Auto likes it when it's bought in larger lots and it's drop shipped from Dorman to your door.

So take heart, and much like going to the doctor, you have to be your own advocate... and gratefully our community has a plethora of knowledgeable people that are there to help.

But if you look at the Valiant applications it shows 1973-1976. :?

Well that's the long and short of it... Must list that stuff by wheelbase and trunk color.

Had the same mess while locating 12' x 1 3/4 inch brake shoes for my IH 1200B truck. Every listing I could find on line showed Bendix RS33 fitting 12" x 3/4" front and 12" x 2" 1200B RWD; odd they must be made of rubber and stretch to both sizes. Finally I hauled my fright over to NAPA, where the counter guy dug through the shoe book and found RS 30 is the 12" x 1 3/4" front shoe. I was unable to locate that part on NAPA's site. Internet ain't always so helpful.
