RRR typed ^^^^ what I was going to type. So I just say ditto this ^^ I'll also add 3 of my current Mopars have traction bars on them now and in all 3 cases they helped with traction. A lot.

a member here put a A-body rear end in his truck. He sat it right on top of the leafs. Perches fit, but the axle will be narrower, great if you are using deep dish rims

Does it come out of the water box straight? You can measure the lower ball joint grease zert to the rear axle on each side. Sometimes you can fine a 1/4 inch or more difference just in all the "lazy tolerances" of the car. I've seen some put spacer between the leaf mount and body on one...

I have done it. Lock a vice grip on the shaft and hit it down to the length needed. Or, you can order one of these to extend it. For MOPAR Power to Manual Steering Swap Adapter A/B/E-body Plymouth Dodge Chrysl | eBay

what elevation is the track ?

I didn't read where anyone stated "you won't benefit from them". It was stated "you don't NEED them". With a mild motor, I cannot disagree. It isn't a NEED, but you can BENEFIT. Fast facts No muscle car came from the factory with frame connectors as an option When more support was...

I had the 15x7 rallye's, with 235/60r15's. Fit like a glove. However, the aluminum slots in the picture are some deep dished, and I did have to fold the inner lip up to keep them from rubbing. I've always like the 65-67 b bodies in Dusters. In fact, I just set one in my other Duster, still...

If using a '65-67, you can run any factory wheel you wish.

I've done it before. I don't remember changing the PS brakets either.

100% agree... a video i made on the subject

Correct again. Setting them up correctly is huge.

Correct. The pre-historic Cal-trac. And I know, the axle sits forward on the leafs n mopars. I've been told for so many years they don't work on Mopars that I've just learned to smile and say ok. :)

okay

10 dollar swap meet traction bars... paint them the color of your flavor, set bumper of the traction bar 1/2" from the eye of the leaf spring bolt, wheel hop gone ... or more controlled :)

If the rear end has been swapped in by somebody at a time in it's life, very common to weld on new perches at 43". What I'd be asking is what is the width from backing plate to backing plate. And is it small bolt pattern. You don't want to pay "A body 8.75 price" for a B-body with...

Glad you got it resolved !!

Wow, you are doing an extreme makeover !!! Nice

I have them on my mopar.... work great !

I feel for you that it happened, that totally stinks. Little late for this project, but in the future always test fit. These old cars tolerances vary so much from car to car that it's impossible to know how much, if any, needs to be cut on anything when installing a aftermarket part. I might...

nope. Do both and clamp the front side of the leafs and take the straps around the back of the leaf off. Set the traction bar snubber about 1/2 -3/4 inch away from the eye of the front leaf bolt for street use. And before you get scolded by others, I'll tell you traction bars do work on older...

He didn't call you a name or smack you for what you do for a dollar, why you swing'n at him? Just his perspective.... :poke:

well, there is always this perspective......

traction bars (slapper bars). 49.95 fix :)

I've never tried in that body style, but they move each tire out about 1". The leaf perches are only about a 1/2 wider, and I just oval the hole a 1/4 inch and pull the leafs the other 1/4" and drop it in.

Dart Sport or Dart Swinger?? If it's a Dart Sport, a '65-67 B-body drops right in and works great. '68-70's work well too.

Did you try adjusting yours?? Quickest, fastest, and cheapest way is to find a replacement for what you have. Good 2nd hand manual steering boxes run anywhere from 80.00 - 150.00. Manual steering will have a little more play than power steering. As for the other steering components, I'd...

so many going to manual steering that i bet you could get somebody to trade you their power steering set up for your manual. Just a thought

Just to be sure.… is the rest of the steering components up to par? Play in tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, etc can lead to play in the steering wheel as well. That's all I have, unless the power steering box still has a fault after being rebuilt

Manual steering box will be shorter. You can either buy the adaptor available on ebay among other places, or swap to a manual column, or lock a vise on your column and pound it down to correct length. Also, I believe you'll need a manual steering coupler, and the right pitman arm. Pretty...

I've pounded power steering shaft down to meet manual steering, but I've never beat a manual steering shaft up to fit power steering... interesting thought
