I have a 1975 Factory Body service manual at home I can look tonight. That does give a lot of frame dimensions for collision repair. Possible it may have something. You want Dart right? Should be same as 75 scamp/valiant (I know duster length is diff, not sure what else)

yea - 108" WB - Duster or 111" WB Dart/Scamp - I have the 71 Body/Chassis book - if needed (of course mine is at home too)

which is weird as heck to me - looking at a Duster you would swear it is a bigger longer car

well let me throw this wrench into this...

I was talking with Carl Gerst about the 4 link and the gas tank fitment issues, it seems there is 3 inches LESS room between the gas tanks/axle on the Swingers/Dart/Scamps with 8.75s vs the 71 duster he has and the 70 duster I measured that my buddy has..... explain that one.

that's interesting - maybe the Duster is bigger but they simply had to shorten the WB for some reason..

here's my theory, I think the trunk is larger on the dart/scamps/ etc. I think the vehicle is longer, therefore they moved the wheel base back towards the rear bumper 3 inches, this accounts for the 3 inch difference
 
I've been downloading more of my CD's to my HD... Each of the boxes that I have them organized in takes 3 hours to download. I'm through 4 boxes so far, about 3 more to go...
 
I thought I was being tailed by a paid assassin, but he was just a volunteer...
