Early A-Info
Thanks caveman. I knew the shumaker mounts were avail but I have a really clean late a-kframe just sitting around. Oh well The conversion kit will do just fine. I too have been working on mopars for just a tad over 30 years but dont have alot of time on these early a bodies. I will pass on the sledge hammer technique though. Thanks for your help.
The kframe from 1967 and newer will NOT FIT 1963-66 Abody
the size is wrong, and no amount of "tweaking" will make it fit.
Sell it to someone, or for scrap metal, if you don't want to keep
it stored for a future project. :)
Some of us "old folks" have learned stuff the Hard way,
by wasting a lot of time, and or money.
Also when you do this swap; save yourself some hassle and use a small starter, like for a 1995 Dakota V8.
Here is a link to a New one, not rebuilt.
