It came with the optional single backup light, also has the heater and a few other of the factory options, here is the link to the options brochure that shows a good image of the backup light and the other available options of the time, I don`t know how the light is hooked up or if mine even works. http://p15-d24.com/files/file/51-mopar-approved-accessories/

Thanks, it took a bit of doing to get that lift back in service but I get quite a bit of use out of it, I`m in White Haven on the Lehigh River off interstate 80.

Don I`m in White Haven, Luzerne County. I tried to move this as suggested but could not figure out how to get it done.

Mikes Carburetor in Washington State has put up two videos on rebuilding the Carter BB Carb that were invaluable to me when I had to take-on my varnish clogged carb. I also spoke to the man on the phone and he is a heck of a nice guy, very helpful. Below is the utube link...there is a part 1 and 2 to this video.

Thanks Ken, I got the car in 87 used it for fun till 99, then it sat till 11 then I put ethanol fuel in it and it ran for 2 months and one hot August day liquid tar passed thru my whole fuel system. Disgusted I pushed it in the garage for another 3yrs and now I have the time and the inclination to do some things long overdue. It now runs better than it ever did and I`m on my way to actually having working brakes. The new tank is full of ethanol-free 93 octane gasoline, I drove 37 miles each way to get it at "Harry`s Gas" it was like the "speakeasy's" of gas stations, the place didn`t even have a sign. Paul

I`m sorry my apologies but I`am a "Child of American Graffiti" in fact that skull is the same one that hung in "Bob Falfa`s Black 55 Chevy" in the movie. Below is a shot from a long time ago with the 41 Chevy Coupe I had back then, same skull hung in that car.

Advance Auto has a "Free Tool Loaner" program. I had to put their available universal hub/drum puller on a credit card and I have 90days to return it for a full refund. It worked great using an impact gun and some penetrating oil on the rears to remove my drums that were really frozen in place. On the drivers rear I had to remove the lower retaining nuts and tap the major adjuster bolts inwards before the frozen shoes finally retracted enough to get the drum off.

I had tried for 3 days to restore the original tank but it was hopeless, I stunk like gas varnish the entire time, went thru 3 gallons of lacquer thinners, then bought a new tank from Tanks Inc. but funny thing I found it cheaper on ebay than on their own website, I paid $264.99 for a new tank, sender and straps delivered. $30 cheaper than from the manufacturer, I had it in 3days drop shipped by Tanks Inc.I don`t know if I am allowed to post the ebay link so if anyone needs it message me.

Got it on the lift to start the brakes, this is the first time I got my antique car onto my antique 2 post lift. It is a 1970 Benwil originally from a Chevrolet Dealership, I got it after it sat in a field for years and was totally "roached" and on it`s way to be scrapped.

Carb needed a rebuild and I had to replace the fuel pump and clear out all the fuel lines. My Wife wasn`t thrilled about this, but I pointed out it was better than the Dining room table.

I finally got around to bring my D24 to life again, my entire fuel system had gone to hell and the brakes were all locked up,frozen and leaking. I used my motorcycle lift to raise the tank into position
