What mopar stuff do you stock up on?

I'm curious as to what everyone stocks up on for their mopar projects. I'm not talking about typical garage supplies like oil, brake fluid, Kroil, Locktite, etc. or even typical auto parts like spark plugs, oil filters, etc. I want to know what type of parts for a mopar is good to have around? I've got a '73 charger that I plan on keeping for the long haul. What are common problem areas?

I've done some tranny work, so I plan on having a complete set of 727 gaskets and seals, but what else is good to have around?

Thanks,
Adam

Well, being a packrat & a tightwad at the same time, anything I can find that's cheap I save as spares. You never know when some idiot will drive into you because they are on a cell phone. I haven't been doing it as much in the last several years since prices have gone through the roof, but I used to snag anything & everything I could come across at junk yards & swap meets. When these cars were my daily drivers I would always have several extra grilles, headlight bezels, mouldings, lenses & plastic interior parts that broke easily. Parts from $5 to $25 were common & space isn't an issue.

I still have tons of 1970 Plymouth parts for the front end since I had a 1970 GTX & a 1970 nose on my 1969 Satellite. Glad I kept most of it since I now have a 1970 Road Runner I plan to drive & not trailer. I had at least 4 or 5 grille set ups with the lower grille, mouldings, valance, signal housings & trim. Anytime I can find sheetmetal cheap, like a '69 Road Runner fender for $100 I can't pass on it. Even when I found a '67 Barracuda fastback that the guy said he'd deliver to my house for $100, I had to get it. I have a spare deck lid, bumpers, hood & more for my Scamp.

Oil? That stuff came inside the engine, who needs more?  :D

A guy cannot have enough supply's  ;D  I never buy just one can of paint anymore, I have come
home several times with one can of paint and the can would not work no matter what I tried.
I have collected many lubes and cleaners over the years and it seems I always need something I
don't have, hard to believe..........
