    7 1/4" to 8 3/4" rear end swap advice

    I think what I would do is install the rear end and see if the rubber line will reach the splitter block. It being on the drivers side tube will be better than on the hump of the center housing. Same with the brakes, I think what you have will work, and since you have small bolt pattern, there...

    7 1/4" to 8 3/4" rear end swap advice

    Put the leaf springs on the rear end first. Then mount the front perches first, so it hinges up when you jack up the rear end. It will help keep the rear end located. The driveshaft for a 8 3/4”/904 combo in a Dart is 48 5/8”, but I would have the rear installed and under load and measure cup to...

    [WANTED] .87 or .89 torsion bars wanted for 65 Barracuda

    I checked both bars, they’re 892/893. I don’t keep the smaller bars, simply because I don’t need them. I’ll get em finish packed and send over my PayPal ID if you do PayPal.

    Cooper Cobra vs BFG Ta's on 2nd gen cuda

    I saw the new owner posting online not too long ago. I believe it to be a younger man, and he was asking a question as to something he wanted to change. I didn’t chime in because I always thought that car was perfect!

    [WANTED] .87 or .89 torsion bars wanted for 65 Barracuda

    Here you go. I think “ground advantage” is the old parcel post, which is 6-10 days, where Priority Mail is 2-3 days. That’s from Michigan to North Dakota, although I would assume any middle states would be roughly in that ball park. California would probably be double that. For reference, the...

    I’ll drip mine in a tube and run a quote through the PO and let you know what shipping from Michigan would be.

    [WANTED] .87 or .89 torsion bars wanted for 65 Barracuda

    Follow through with Dana on this, but if it falls through, I have a couple sets of 892/893 bars, and I’ll sell em for $50 plus shipping if the deal falls through with Dana. For reference to Dana, I send bars in carpet tubes, 2 fit nice with a little padding, and don’t move around. My local...

    Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?

    Besides hay, we could also pick asparagus or strawberries for a couple farmers within walking distance of our houses. Usually $20-$25 a day, depending on how fast you wanted to work.

    Speaking Of Hard To Get Parts....

    I already do that. I don’t believe I’ve ever ordered anything online, except the seat cover I got from Legendary, and that’s only because they don’t come to the Nats anymore. Never opened a catalog from Classic, never ordered anything from Year One, I buy my stuff from vendors at the Nats if I...

    Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?

    Baling hay….10c a bale, we worked for every farmer in our area, and for a scrawny kid of 14, we made a lot of money. We also earned a $1/hr for a local school teacher who brought used tires home from the city. He rented out my friends horse barn, dumped the tires in the barn, and we cleaned...

    Help identifying differential 65 Barracuda V8

    I agree with all of the above. I would first get it running, moving under its own power, and stopping safely. Those brakes might not need more than just the wheel cylinders, a new master, and a good bleed. Do everything you can that’s free, and buy just the stuff you need. I’m sure the fuel...

    Ram towing mileage

    I get 16 in my 2012 with no trailer, and 12 with my car hauler empty, slightly less with a car on it. Pulling the camper I get 9, and no matter where I drive, I’m ticking. I spent $8k on a new engine and getting it installed, 10k miles later and the old Hemi tick has come back. I’m about to jump...

    Help identifying differential 65 Barracuda V8

    The 904 can handle anything you’re going to throw at it. Now, the 7 1/4” and 8 3/4” use the same size brakes, 1 3/4” wide shoes and a 10” diameter. The line set for the axle itself would be different, but you may not need that anyway. The drums will be the same, and all the hardware. The backing...

    Can Anyone Confirm if These are Original seat Cover?

    I don’t believe the tracks from a 73 and later car are the same as the 67-72 cars. I know the floorpan is different.

    Help identifying differential 65 Barracuda V8

    I believe that is a 7 1/4”, and there should be some stampings in the edge of the ring gear to identify the gear ratio. That being said, for all of your upcoming upgrades, you should strongly consider replacing the entire axle assembly with either an 8 3/4”, which would allow you to keep the...

    I Need a Dart Convertible Like….. NOT MINE

    I hear, and obey! And it’s not the money, it’s the lack of space to keep it. It won’t help it moving from one outside storage situation to another. I might hit up my buddy for some space in his really large barn. I’ll report back in this thread if I succumb to my conscience

    I Need a Dart Convertible Like….. NOT MINE

    He might have the keys at home, he was going to check, and if he has them he’s going to bring them to the shop. He says there’s some parts in the trunk, I’d personally like to see the missing rear wheel well trim piece.

    I Need a Dart Convertible Like….. NOT MINE

    No, the interior is turquoise as well, under some spray bomb red on the metal, and some really bad vinyl on the door skins and dash pad. The front seat looks to have been reupholstered, the back seat looks like Mopar vinyl, but it’s red. Not sure if it got dyed or they swapped one from a red...

    I Need a Dart Convertible Like….. NOT MINE

    My next project HAS to be putting the 340 into my blue Barracuda. Now that Nellas room is finally done, I can turn back to doing stuff with cars. I wish the Signet would find a good home, I need the space, and the money would be nice too. Although it’s a really fun car to drive. Come on down and...
