I got it on eBay lol. I was searching for a little while until I saw this bad boy show up for what I believe was a good price.
After I recieved it, I wire brushed it as best as I could, removed all old brake components, redid seals, and painted it as best as I could. Afterwards added 3 layers...
Awesome! Thank you Gandy Dancer!
Recently I haven't had time to do much but I didn't touch my Barracuda for that reason. So I can still hop in and cruise around if I wanted to ;). This has been the latest thing I've done, which was redo all the seals on the 8 3/4 rear as well as the brakes...
I just went out and bought a new "kit" type of thing..

May be a bit more than i wanted to pay but at least when it gets here its ready for plug and play
Unsure of it either, I asked the man and he hasnt replied yet. But if theyre what im looking for, Ive got no problem cleaning them up and painting them too. All of course if you guys say its good to do so

How do these look to you guys? Think theyll clean up?
Thanks Lelo, youve truly been a lot of help. I was reading a couple of other discussions on the perches and how to weld them on and all that. Still have much to learn and read. And a lot more to spend on parts lol.
Once again, appreciate it and
..:thankyou:
I also realized I dont have spring perches on the 8 3/4...

I feel kinda dumb for asking, but are they necessary? Or are they only needed to relocate the leaf springs?
Thanks guys
Yesterday I squeezed down underneath and tried to have a closer look, it does have a tee block on the 7 1/4, im just not sure if its a regular bolt or vent tube holiding it down... too much grime covering it. ( ._.)
I recently aquired an 8 3/4 out of a 72 plymouth duster that im working on fitting onto my 66 barracuda. Just yesterday i threw out the lines as they seemed clogged and no fluids ran through them. I bought a new brake hose dorman (for a 72 duster) as well since whoever had it before just cut it...
