My son sent me this info on US Car Tool. It looks like they have a line of parts for the early A-Bodies now. Not only do they have frame connectors, they've also have front & rear torque boxes, inner fender braces, a radiator core stiffener, leaf spring hanger relocation kit, mini wheel tubs and a drive shaft loop. They also have this stuff in Level 1, 2 and 3 Chassis kits.

Had no idea that it was old news. I saw it on the 1961-1966 Early A-Body Mopar, Valiant, Dart, etc forum on Facebook and thought that I would post it here. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.
I like the stuff but it seams to be a little pricey.
 
Could have taken 2 years to develop...What benefit does a rad core stiffener do or is that a stock piece?
 
I asked them about the level 3 kit about 8 weeks ago. They said it was not available yet but the level 1 and 2 were ready. They said they would E-mail me when it was available. I have not seen that e-mail yet. Looks like I need to send them another message.
 
Radiator Core stiffener connects the ends of the front frame rails with something more solid than the sheetmetal lower core support. Reduces flex in the frame that would effect the geometry of the steering. Welds in over the original lower core support.

It's ok. I guess some folks don't like it when others try to enlighten people. I knew they made a few things for the early cars but not all that you linked to here. Thanks for sharing and feel free to keep right on doing it.

Don't ever hesitate to share good news/new products/anything interesting to Us Early-A owners, it never gets old, to Us especially,......the Early-A has been the most neglected Mopar in the aftermarket per it's sales numbers when new.
It's a good thing to bump these products into the discussion, 'cause not everyone spends a bunch of time here or reading the mags, the more who know about them the better.
As far as price, quality costs $$, and what I've read on these pieces is all good so far.

I see this is a older topic but my 66 was used to develop the stage 3 kit over the last year or so and all parts are now available
 
Yeah, they offered to do the stage 3 setup to mine, but I had just installed a new Hellwig rear sway bar setup and didn't wanna lose that. Now here I am a few years later wishing I could get bigger tires under my dart...

67-75 Mopar A Body Frame Connectors
67-75 Mopar A Body Frame Connectors
I bought and installed mini tub's, frame connectors, and spring relocate kit. Frame connectors needed quite a bit of trimming. Mini tub's had a perimeter shaping issue for my 68 Barracuda, USCT said they were working on a model specific kit, not sure if that happened. All in all I made everything work. Some items USCT has very competitive pricing

Sorry bud but 67 and newer isn't "early A".
 
Thanks for the link! There is some good looking stuff in there, bookmarking for sure.
 
in my opinion...a true early A body is the 60-62 Valiant and Lancers....the others, well, they just newer is all...

Ya the 60-62's get forgotten about sometimes. That's where the economy Mopars started.
