BBP rear axle conversion on the 73 Dart sport
the disassembly went so smoothly I had enough time to remove the stock hangers and shackles from the springs and install the offset hangers and shackles. Also was able to install the springs on the car. The one issue I encountered was the offset spring mounts (hangers) require a hole in the car's frame to clear the nut welded on the inner side of the offset mount.
Have few pictures that show the stock versus offset spring mounts and spring shackles. Another picture shows one of the holes in the frame.
Of course I need to show the A-body axle assembly compared to the B-body housing which will replace it. I hope to get on final axle housing preps and install it in place to locate the axle mounts for welding tomorrow.
