I have used Rancho 9 way adjustable shocks in the past that seem to work just fine. Since you have moved your springs inboard these shocks would be long enough and should not need the usual shock extenders needed when super stock springs are used.
Good reminder. No, truck Dana rear axles do not have mounting points for the pinion snubber. I run Caltracs with split mono leafs so it was never an issue for me.
My truck Dana does have extra thick axle tubes. They are thicker than car Dana's. I think they were like 3/8" wall or slightly over. I agree with depth on wheels. I went with 15"x12" with a 6" back space.
Yes, correct. I bought the wheels and tires first that I knew would fit in the mini tub that I did first on my blue 70 Challenger. Then we measured and cut with dimensions that I was able to figure out from the Strange Engineering axle flanges and rotor thicknesses. I don't recall how much I cut...
The rump stripe was always my least favorite, but since my red Challenger has one. It has grown on me over time. I know minor, but what bugs me about it is how the rear side marker lights and rear bumper are diagonal and the stripe goes vertically right between them.
Yes, I have a buddy that has an original R code F8 green Hemi Cuda. He is the second owner since like 1979 and it is a column automatic, bench seat car.
One of my 70 Challengers is a 383 car, but mine is an R/T and an S.E. though. They were available as a non-R/T 383 also but with a 2 bbl. My buddy had a light green 383 2 bbl car that we of course put a four barrel on it immediately back in those days.
