Finally getting an early A-Body

Vic Storm said

Thanks Kev, I like to know what everything is. Here is a pic of the K-member, it is still in the car but not for long. As you can see it was altered, so out it comes. She is getting disc bakes up front so they are coming apart anyway.

Hey I got a question, did the 66's ever come stock with a front or rear sway bar?

Sure, the 66 Formula S cars came with a front sway bar, but I don't think that early A's hever had a rear sway bar. You know, that K member almost looks like an earlier A front saddle. I had a 63 Valiant convertible over the summer that I was parting out and I looked at where the K frame should have been and it looked a lot like that. Not a K frame as it were, but more like 2 frame rails and a cross bar. I'm not saying that is what you have there Vic, but it sure looks close. Does anybody out there have a 63 Valiant to shoot a picture of the motor saddle?? Snag up that front brake stuff, it is getting hard to come by. I'll help you chop that wood for an extra dust shield. I'm doing that swap on my 67 cuda. Also Vic, I'm not bustin' you on the hose thing, I'm just havin' a little fun with ya'll. I wish I was in your garage using that hose to help bust something off with ya. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more updates!!! Geof
