Just so I'm 100% clear on an 8 3/4 swap!!!

it was a slant 6 car. Does that mean i have to swap leaf springs as well? I was only only going to swap rears.

There are two potential issues that you may run into, but they are not hard to work through....

1. If your car was originally a slant 6 car, the front bolt on the spring hanger is one size smaller... If my old mind can remember correctly, the slant 6 had 9/16" diameter bolts for the front spring "eye" and the v-8's had a 5/8" diameter bolt... You can drill the front hanger bracket out for the larger diameter and go to a good hardware store or Mcmaster-carr for a new bolt.... There's a local Ace Hardware around here that carries the proper bolt for the replacement...

2. Somewhere along he way, they moved the bolt hole for the rear brake hose/splitter... I believe it was for 70 and later (again old mind and bad memory)... We had the wrong one for my son's 71 Valiant swap, and was able to order a custom one from The Right Stuff with 3" more hose length and solved that problem... But I think your going to be ok with a mid 60's to a later 60's swap....[/QUOTE
