Slow, Driving Rustoration 1972 Dart
Took the new-to-me rear end to the car wash to clean it up. Just needs a little wire brushing and some black rustoleum. The brake hardware and drums on the donor look good, but I will be Swapping my current 10" setup instead of the 9". There's no bolt tag on this one but I verified it is the same 2.76 as the original one. I'm going to go ahead and remove the cover, clean it out, and basically just stare at it for a few minutes pretending like I know what I'm doing.
I ordered new stock springs from General Springs KC yesterday, they should be here today along with new axle bearings, gaskets, and seals from RockAuto. Planning on getting everything back together by Sunday night. I'm going to see if I like the ride and stance and have a 1" lowering kit from Speedway at the ready if it needs it.
