In 71 absolutely 2 different k frames, one for six and one for all v8s
71 Plymouth scamp
Those rally wheels are also coming off and I'm using these babies, even though I only have 3 but I am sure I will find a fourth one sooner or later
Kinda like this
The more I learn, the more I understand how little I know. But, that is not only about cars, it is about everything. Peculiar thing actually.
Bill
Do you use the old cars as daily drivers, or do you have a newer car for that ?
Bill
You have come to the right place, we will figure it out, together
I have never ever heard about a Plymouth Scamp, never ever seen that name written even.
Not until you wrote it.Bill

Bite your tongue!
funny you ask that, because there is a story as to why I use them as daily drivers.
I started out driving these old cars as daily drivers in high school and all through college.
One day my adoptive parents stated they didn't think I should be driving an old car when all my friends had new cars, so they made a deal with me. The deal was they would buy me a brand new dart, this is a few years ago when the new dart came out. I could have a new dart or something similar free and clear IF I got rid of my old cars. I was never much of a rebellious kid but that is one time I refused to get rid of my old cars.
So they said If I kept the old cars I would have to keep them running myself and never ask them for rides or bail outs. So to keep my pride, I have never called them and I have done many repairs on the side of the road and I refuse to let them believe I they were right about me needing a new car. I will keep these old cars on the road as long as I am alive.
Right now I drive a blue 68 dart and I have kept it live this long but its getting kinda ratty so I would like to get another one going so I get the dart off the road and go through the driveline. I went to auto school, so I do all my own work, mainly because I don't trust shops or most guys so no one touches my cars except me and my favorite cousin.
I am sorry to hear that. I am not in favor of those kind of deals.
I like using old cars as daily drivers, but it is impossible here we live now.
Bill
why is it impossible??
do they salt the roads?
They don't salt the roads here so there is no reason an old car cant be used
The funny thing about these cars is you really get used to them when you drive them a lot.
I am so used to the hum of the slant six, I want another one. The slant six is one of the most fun but simple and cheap engines to run. You don't go super fast with one but you have a lot of fun on the way to where you are going.

I see you guys secretly chatting with each other on PM......
its a joke
Well, it is not impossible, but I can not restore a car here. I have to keep my car running at all times, if not the city will impound it. And, I can only do very minor things to my car, changing an engine would be a no no. I am not sure if I can even manage to replace a rear spring myself.
Very strict rules to keep the neighborhood upety enough for the neighbors who are afraid the price of their house will go down, even if they want it to be as cheap as possible for the property taxes, yeah, go figure.
Bill
No salting of roads, no snow here.
good night, time for bed.
Bill
Bill
Hell yeah!
Who dat be?
I love the fact that you daily drive them. I am going back to driving my older cars soon. Got to get my 72 back on the road. Has killed me that it was off the road for most of the year. Not to mention it was my first running driving vehicle. Up till this year it was my most reliable vehicle.
