straight axle in a 70 76 dart or duster?

True, but that doesn't mean they looked good!

IMO front leaf springs are good for trucks and stagecoaches and that Dart does not appear to be either.

If you're looking for a certain nostalgic or period appearance, you gotta stick with the correct period vehicle. '70 - '76 is just too new. It's like putting fuzzy dice, suicide knobs, moon discs and wide whitewalls on an '88 Diplomat .:puke:
A car that looks good is in the eye of the beholder no matter what year or period.So I should have a 41 Willey's with a straight axle instead of it being slammed to the ground ?. Mark
