Thank you very much for the advise!

This is a great thread. Thanks for starting it. I’m not as educated as some of you when the numbers start flying around these posts but it seems like I could ask you guys a couple questions. I will eventually be (re)building a 318 for a 54 Plymouth Plaza Suburban I have. Nothing special but I...

I bought this set from a guy up in Canada. I am not a purist and this will never be a concourse show car, but what do you think? Do they look right? close enough? completely wrong?

For this car, I need to either re-key all existing locks (ign/doors/trunk) or get new locks with keys. Yes I prefer the old style keys with matching pentastar ign/doors key and round trunk key. I found a couple guys on eBay with full sets of locks. I already bought NOS key blanks for all my...

Someone stole a bunch of stuff from our house including spare keys to all the cars. I am replacing locks on almost all of them but I am having trouble finding correct locks with correct keys for the 65 Barracuda. I am hoping someone has some in good shape. I am hoping the ignition and doors are...

Big thanks to mrbelvedere2 for coming through with wheels!

Thanks. I need a couple brushed ones for a ‘71 car

Did you have any luck finding any wheels matching what I’m looking for by chance?

Thanks. Everything is installed again. Waiting to finish blasting the wheels and repaint them then I’ll get new tires and be on the road again.

My friend called me last night saying he cleaned them up and pressed on Timken bearings and collars. There was still plenty of tension on the bearing that it should not slip or spin at all. I will go pick them up today and hopefully get them installed within the next few days. I received the...

maybe its my computer, but I can't see anything in your response

That would be outstanding. It doesn't have to be pretty, just has to be straight

Not sure shipping from NC to CA will make it worth it, but how much are you asking for it?

does it match what came original in the 65 Barracuda? Mine is cracked in half.

I have four 14x4.5 SBP steel wheels on my 65 Barracuda and need one more for the spare.

thanks, I will

Thank you guys for chiming in with ideas and advice. I will let you know how it goes once I get it back together.

I didn't want to hit it too much with emery cloth for fear of making it too much smaller and having the bearing spin. I ordered the Timken bearings and seals and FelPro gaskets.

Everything but three of four flange gaskets was in place upon disassembly and otherwise matched the image in the service manual. I just spoke to a friend who rebuilds rear axles and transmissions. He is ordering Timken bearings and seals (also made in China but better than Duralast) and I...

yep, I had a choice of one packable (part SET7) or one sealed (part RWF34R)

the bearings that came off it and the ones I bought from the parts store are the sealed type, not the type you pack.

I need advice from the experienced early A body folks... I pulled the axles on my recently acquired 65 Barracuda slant six car to replace the bearings. It's a "driver" meant to be fun to putz around in from time to time. I have several other car projects taking the majority of my time and money...

are you able to take a closer photo of the surface? That should show if it is brushed or polished.

If they are straight I’ll give you $35 plus actual shipping to northern CA 94544

I need one 14x4.5”, SBP steel wheel for my 65 Barracuda. I have four but want one more for the spare. Just needs to be straight. I’m blasting and painting them all anyway. So you have just one for sale shipped to northern CA 94544?

I can’t tell in the photo. Are they brushed finish or polished finish?

I'll have to look again, but I don't remember the K-member under the slant six looking as beefy as the one in your photo. Yours seems more boxed in where I was thinking mine was more angled steel with less enclosed "boxy" areas.

You are correct, I didn't think to break it down when I wrote the original post. I bought the entire aftermarket tubular IFS from Control Freaks with coil overs and new brakes.

That’s good news. I just assumed I’d need a stronger Kmember for the V8. So it’s just a bolt in if I have the 273 mounts?

Removing SB V8 K-member from 70 Dart to install independent front suspension. Have an extra 318 I’d like to swap into my 65 Barracuda S/6 car if the K-member will bolt in. Has anyone here done it already?
