Both my parents are from swift! We go there occasionally to visit with cousins and uncles!

I have a twin scoop setup that’s getting painted this year to give the car some well deserved attitude!

I was told it came from California, to bc, to Alberta and now sask, been a sask car for 4-5 years only..... although the accuracy of all that info I can’t confirm

Figured I would chime in! Live in regina and bought a 1970 dart out of Saskatoon area last spring, haven’t had much time to enjoy it as we were in the midst of building a new house but now that’s all taken care of other than landscaping I’m hoping to pound the pavement some more this year!

The wheel well on my 70 isn’t round so the back flares back white a bit more, comparing the rear to the front the tires are centered in the wheelwell the same, and with my new front mounting spring point to be within an 1/8” of another members parts car measurements he gave me I do believe the...

Front section I had measured at 19 5/8 so call that 20 and I just checked the rear section is 35” leading me to believe these are the springs off the parts car 1972 dart he got the driveline out of

So crawling under the trans pan does match that of a 727, the start of the serial number is “PK” and attached is a photo showing the Center of the rear wheel off the front of the wheel well

48” Center ujoint to ujoint on driveshaft 19 5/8 eye bolt to Center of leaf pack pin

1 3/4” exposed and almost 3” from the tail shaft. I looked through the documentation I got with the car and the driveshaft was shortened in 2016 to “measurements given by owner” the owner in question was the gentleman who I bought the car from who did the driveline conversion from /6 to 360/727...

I do have a bad vibration in the driveline I was told is a bad transmission mount, the more I look into how this suspension was all setup I’m going to have to check pinion angles and now you’ve even got me thinking a wobble could possibly come from the yoke being poorly engaged and possibly...

I measured its showing 1 3/4” of yoke, not to familiar with these to know if that is adequate or not

Thanks for all the measurements! The front spring bolt mount (under the back seat) is 2” to Center off the frame, so that’s pretty darn close to factory! Looks like I just need to clean up the shackle mounts and it’ll be rolling how it should have been in the first place

Thanks all for the references, photos and measurements! This is all exactly what I’m after, now just to weigh the pros and cons of what to order to fix this mess, and yea they just welded what appears to be 1 3/4” angle iron onto the rear subframe half covering the locating hole generally used...

Yep I think the rear mount US Cartool kit is going to be on order soon to fix this mess! The front looks done way better than the rear on both sides, almost like they spent all the time up front and rushed the back pretty bad Would be nice to confirm the front location bolt with a couple...

That would be awesome when you have a chance!
