It's not bogging down anything lol-I agree with you! Your experience is valuable to this thread because someone else may want to replicate your setup and measurements are relevant to the swap. 72bluNblu has provided his info on numerous other threads, but yours may be the path others would...

Center caps have to be different because the OE ones sit deeper in the hub register and can't accommodate the grease cap on the rotor when installed...pretty well documented swap. No factory bullitt wheel has a 6" backspace...factory (and factory mimic'd) 17x8s have 5.72" backspace (30mm...

if those are factory style 17x8 bullitt wheels, they're 5.78" backspace (30mm offset).

I'll be doing that one as well, but it depends on what year B body. The Duster has a little more room in the wells than a Dart or Val...you have room for 15x8 with the right backspacing on the wheels-- @nublu72 is probably who you need to talk to

Good to hear

...or you could pony up for double adjustable QA1s or Viking shocks (yikes)

Something tells me not many have, and even fewer that post on this forum...I'm about 95% positive they're primary market are foreign makes...I'm sure they'd do fine if that's what you want to use. EDIT: REREAD YOUR FIRST POST-GOT IT YOU DON'T WANT MONROES...YOUR OPTIONS ARE LIMITED...USE THE...

Sachs are OE quality replacements. I installed them in my 2006 BMW all 4 corners; they ride pretty good from what I'm used to. That said, when I ran through RA, the part numbers quoted for the '61 MY crossed to the same numbers for later models...so, whatever fits a later model should fit...

Gas-Matic I believe

Take out one front and one rear and get the measurements then you can go from there...you could also call them directly...might be very helpful

I think he addressed this a little while back on the shocks...

lame...well, at least you got the arms...bushings and ball joints are inexpensive, at least.

Did you take the eccentric bolts too or were they clapped out?

Cool deal--well, I hope they work out well for you.

you've noticed that too, eh? I understand the concept of supply and demand economics, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating seeing someone selling 40+ year old rusty crusty pieces of **** that need new bushings and ball joints and are sometimes bent during removal (yes, it happens, ask...

That's the thing with poly bushings (and part of the reason why a good portion of people choose not to use them), you have to reuse the original shell...you can reuse them if you extract the factory rubber insert...either that or you buy a new set of rubber bushings and remove it...or make your...

:thumbsup: gives me a couple good ideas. I found a set of 1.03" PST bars and FMJ spindles on here not too long ago. I'll probably configure mine similar to yours...adjustable struts, stiffened LCAs, better bushings, hellwig or hotchkiss sway bar, 11.75" cordoba brakes, etc etc etc

One day...eventually. I really need to figure out what I'm gonna do when I grow up (retire from AF)...

That's good to hear--all I know is it sounds awesome and I know you can't wait to get it all put together so you can drop the hammer a few times

Mmmmm sounds good--looks good. Awesome job

Damn that looks good! I can sympathize with the extended 12s...has a way of taking the wind out of your sails; I hope you're being compensated ;)

Daaaaaaamn!! Slick!

Sweeeeeeeet--that's still the 383, correct?

Sweeeeet!!

You should be able to hit up a local TSC for 3"x8" u bolts and hardware.
