67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Went junkyarding today. Found a 74 Valiant with 10" manual drum brakes. According to Hemi71X the 73 up SBP cars with 10" front drums will have 73 up disc brake lower ball joints, and will have LBJ UCAs. Well this was a LBJ UCA car with 10" drums. I grabbed the Lower ball joints only to keep it a roller for now. I borrowed a set of disc brake lower ball joints from a buddy of mine that builds dirt track mopars so i could get this car home. These are a set of the mock up joints he uses, so now that i have a set just to keep it a roller for now, i can give them back. The UCAs are indeed LBJ arms. These are typical clean west Texas parts. A good sandblasting and the metal will look great on these. This stuff fought me a bit getting it apart, but not too bad. I have SBJ arms currently installed just to hold everything together for now. Will swap in the other arms just so its all together for a later rebuild.
