the whole back is rotted the ends and the leaf spring brackets, I do weld, but figured its easier just to buy something if available
Nice job
I could use both sides from the rear up to the bend
No problem doing the work just need the brackets to do the job, if I don't find any I'll just fab my own
Any idea of what the part's name is / what it's referred to as? I'm trying to evaluate a Dart my dad left behind when he passed. Crawled under the back and looked up to about exactly the last 15" on both sides being rusted out. Starting my parts list now to see if it's realistic for me.
They are just called rear frame rails.
Thanks. I can’t find any with that kickout on it. All the ones I found are just the rail. Would you happen to know the panel they attach to? Sorry for the million questions, I’m just getting back into cars with my dad’s falling into my lap.
The "kick out"is just part of it, its where yhe leaf spring mount bolts to it. These cars are unibody so the frame rails spot weld to the body. These sections are spot welded to the trunk floor and to the rear panel where the bumper brackets mount.
I also think you may have misunderstood my post with the pictures of the rail sections. You can't just buy sections like that, they dont make 15 inch long section like that. These were cut out of a car that a member was parting out.
That would explain things, haha. Those look great for being chopped from another car! Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
check with @Oldmanmopar, he has a knack for finding cheap parts cars
You need to start a wanted thread if you are looking for parts.
