It should, however I'm working with a member on some pieces from a front that have already been cut up. Stay tuned.

I'm in Colorado.

Looking for a dented, bent, or rusty fender that has some fender lip area remaining. I don't need the whole fender, just a section as show in the picture. GOt less than that. I'm interested in that too. At this time, I'm not thinking it will matter if its left or right as I'm only using sections...

1/2 inch is fine, heck, I've run this down to a 1/4 inch in some places, IF you can avoid contact of the widest part of the tire and the narrowest part of the opening. Yours looks close enough it may cut the tire, but camera angles can be deceiving. I would check how far into the well that tire...

Uneven drag links is such a common occurrence that the Mopar Chassis manual has directions for leveling it. You can shim the steering box or you can file fit and weld a washer to the idler arm mount. I haven't heard of "drop" pitman and idlers to correct this for classic mopars and even if they...

Back in the mid '80s, in my town there was a Superbird that was driving around with '70 Super Bee nose on it. I imagine it was in a wreck and damaged the nose cone, they couldn't find replacement parts, so on went the Dodge parts. Back then parts weren't easy to find and your search was limited...

As much as love my old mopars and my sons respect them, they are priced out of the E body world. And honestly, why would they go broke to work on these. They can pick up a good running later model V8 or turbo car for $10k, it drives great, has good stereo and a/c and still has hop up potential...

The sector support bearing assembly is installed to help reduce deflection of the steering box with heavy tire loads. It is designed to be installed in cars that are assembled to provide the extra support to the steering box. If your car is apart, you can reinforce the steering box mount to...

Yes, that was done for handling purposes. The splayed mounting means when the body starts to roll over, it is also twisting the leaf instead of just compressing it. That provides added resistance to compression. This is also why mopars leafs are 2.5" wide instead of 2" like all their...

XV Engineering offers a similar unit, although it does not go all the way to the core support. XV INNER FENDER BRACE Its not like this is a really complicated bend. Mock something up with a cardboard tube, buy some DOM steel tube, and have a a muffler shop bend to match the cardboard tube mock-up

1.Yes, in their installed position the leaf springs should be almost flat. They may have about 1.5-2" arch in them, max, when brand new. You can replace them, but you may not gain more than an inch or two of increased height, unless you current leafs are really, really fragged. You also don't...

Once piece front end on a street car, OMFG No! Talk about a major pain in the ass. Not to mention the need for all the custom fab to be able to mount lights. No way I would try it.

what do you want to do with it? A decent handling set-up can be achieved with torsion bars, good bushings, maybe offset upper bushings or new upper control arms that allow more caster and a modern alignment (ie not the original spec). It sounds like you aren't doing your own work. If so, a...

What are you hoping to achieve by relocation? If less weight on the nose, you can get a 15# Braille battery that has as many cranking amps as a group 24 without all the hassle of moving. If you want better weight distribution, see previous. Moving the battery nets less than a 1% improvement in...

If you are talking about the spring mounting locations, all E bodies are designed to have the front hangers inboard of the rear hangers. Its called splayed mounting arrangement and it is a handling aid that reduces rear roll steer. I believe this measurement is 1.67* inset. The post '71 B bodies...

IMO, about 75 horsepower. After 40 years, these cars need all the help they can get. Glad you have em in now.

This is what you want to try to achieve. The orginal specs were design for easy wheeling, floaty steering, with thin bias ply tires. If you are running out of adjustment, you can always put in offset upper contorl arm bushings installed the oposite of the instructions, you can achieve more...

Wow, no wonder your tires are wearing. For a street car, you should try for zero to -1 degree TOTAL camber on either sides. Caster you may want to get up around 3-5*, but certainly not camber. Tell you alignment tech you want 3 to 5* positive caster, 0 to -1* camber and .0625 to .125 total toe...
