Re: [Chrysler300] Brakes and gas tank

George - 

Near the end of the Letter Series cars, the K & L, items that had been standard, like the biggest brakes and HD suspension, became options, or just unavailable - thus you see many K & Ls without leather, most Ks and all Ls with single 4 barrel carburetors, etc. 

I'm sure Don can answer your L-specific questions - I just speak 300-Ks, and a little 300-D.

Don...I have an "L" purchased 15 years ago and do not have a copy of the original sales contract (window sticker) showing options on the car. What is the difference between heavy duty (HD) brakes/suspension and the standard "L" brakes/suspension and how can I tell which I have? I was under the impression that all letter cars had HD everything. 300 regards...George in San Diego
