    U-bolts

    Why not just go with 8" bolts, and then cut off what you don't need. I believe if your running a 8 3/4 Rear, they'll be 3" (give or take inside measurement).

    Remove the Shifting Level from Column

    I'm doing the same to the 68', putting a floor shifter and console in. She currently has the Auto shifter on the Column, so I was wondering how hard is to take the shifter out, or would it be better to just try and find a new power steering column without the shifter? Thanks

    Through Frame Brake Lines

    I'm exploring rerouting my 68' Dart front brake lines through the frame using those "Through the frame" connectors. I started to replace my front brake lines, but the connectors are so rusted they simply stripped. Even a vice grip won't break them loose. So, I'm afraid my only course of...
