62 Valiant, '69 parts car - what'll work?

[guitarguy318]

Hi all, it's been a while. The intact '62 Valiant I pulled out of a wrecking yard last year actually woke up easily and runs and drives. No brakes & nds gas tank, but we'll get to that.

I have a parts '69 6 cylinder Dart for my other As, all later... wondering what (besides underhood & wheels) off of it will be useable in the smaller '62 in the following areas:

FUEL TANK
BRAKE SYSTEM
SEATS
SUSP.

Thanks so much!

Fuel tank no. Brake system most. Front seat easiest if you bolt on '62 tracks. Rear use 69 upholstery on '62 frame. Suspension most up front except sway bar, rear end OK, rear springs yes if you use and redrill center hole on '62 front bracket. Happy wrenching on your new early "A" body project.

I thank you and Alvin the Valiant thanks you!

Here it is with some SBP 14" Rallyes in place of the 13s & what used to be tires. Should make a great, economical daily driver with a bit of TLC and some floor patches. Thanks again.
