72 Duster Resurrection

Underneath, yep normal 40 years of slime.

Upgrade to the big ball joint because you have the arms, and they are a little stronger, but also because the cost for the ball joints is the same BBJ or SBJ , if you go SBJ then you got to spend $45 for adaptor sleeves. After the cost of the sleeves is figured in, if you sell the BBJ arms you might make $50 on em if they are worth $100, prob not worth it. I sold a set of SBJ arms for $30, and kept the BBJ arms for my use.

I think the sleeves are for guys that dont have the BBJ arms but have the brakes. Or you could use the sleeves, and SBJ arms, and sell the BBJ arms. I dunno what the going price is for those lately.

Rear axle, measure the bolt circle. Somebody else put wheels and a grant gt steering wheel on it. Its a possibility the rear ends been changed out. If its got a 3" axle tube, and the BBP axles its prob an 8.25" rear. Thats a good one. You need to keep it. The 8.25" or 8&1/4" as some call it can handle V8 power well up to 400hp after that its a toss up.

The good thing about the 8.25" is that rear end gears and a sure grip locker (positrac)out of jeep grand cherokees, and dodge dakotas fit it.

Check the tube diameter, as you can still have the BBP axle setup in the weaker 7.25" rear end. I had a 74 dart parts car that had a 7.25, and had BBP axles under it. When it comes to Ma Mopar anything was possible lol.
