I have been looking for good trunk torsion springs for my 69 Dart GT convertible. Well to no avail... So I will put struts in the trunk to keep it up... The struts I use are from a 1996 Ford Wind Star. I did the same in a 66 dart gt but did not document the process, so this time I will.
More to come...
You will need 2 struts, and four ball mounts. The Wind Star has only two screw in ball mounts, on the bottom. So you will need to get 2 more from another Wind Star.
The struts are 26 inches long.
The longer. white ball mounts are from the Wind Star. The others are from a Chevy suburban. Both will work, the Chevy ones are a little shorter, and I might use those....
More to come...
