Nope not a drag car, currently building an 8 3/4 rear with a 360 stroker for it though, gunna be a wild weekend warrior.

Thanks for all the welcomes, here the pictures!

`ell I live in plainwell and I picked it up in pullman which is only about 25 mins away from me

Hey everyone, I just got my first mopar about two weeks ago, its a 1973 plymouth scamp, 318 3 speed. The car overall is in excellent shape for being in michigan its whole life, it only needs some minor work on the quarter panels. I plan to turn it into a weekend cruiser with a bit of muscle...

Thanks guys, that's what I was hoping to hear!

Complete drum to drum

I can pick up a 8.75 axle from a 67 cude and I was just wondering if I will need to do any work to it for it to fit in my 73 scamp? I know the driveshaft and u bolts will be diff but I'm more concerned with having to narrow it.

I meant without having to deal with sizing it

I'm in michigan

I'm looking for either an 8 1/4 or 8 3/4 axle for my a body, would prefer one that is a direct swap for my 71/4

Thank you, I guess I should have known napa would have shackles, first older car so it just slipped my mind.

Ok, I would still like to have the back sit up slightly, where can I find stocklike shackles and leafs that will let it set up a bit in back?

This scamp that I just picked up has some long shackles that hang down quite far and the leaf spring is still arched but right near the shackle it bends backwars and back toward the ground, I would really like to either replace the leafs or replace both if the shackles are going to make it sit...

Well I'm getting myself ready to tear into the body on my new scamp, I went out and purches a new compressor, air tools, paint equipment, and a welder. I'm thinking it may be easier for me to just replace my entire quarter panel but I have never done anything like that before, I have a few years...

Thanks for all the advice, I just found a pair of rear quarters for it and I think I may go that route and just replace the whole damn thing.
