Small pattern Torq Thrust, What "was" available then?
I think I will just widen a set of GTS steelies and use cheater slicks. I'm tired of looking for impossible parts...takes the fun out of the car? I have 7 GTS wheels with 4 button caps, a set of big & little Centerlines, but the rears are wider than the front and the offset is WRONG for a Dart! Wheel companies just grabbed a blank and drilled a pattern, and the customer was stuck with a blank that maybe was perfect for a Mustang or Chevelle. I would have to cut my rearwheel lips to use these wheels in my pic. Yes, I finally have the car indoors!...I moved to a place with several buildings. Car is orig paint(needs redo), was 273-4 speed, now has a 1973 340 w/the orig 69 trans & shifter. The last owner put the 340/GTS hood on in 1980.
I also found a cool set of really old Offenhauser valve covers with no PCV holes at a local swap. I have a six pack with mechanical secondaries but I need to use a Bridgeport to take 1-1/2" off the carb mounting towers on the intake, so the hood can close! P/S, I tried to buy this car from him in 1990. When he decided to sell in 2006-7, he tracked me down in the phone book!
