Do we have any torque box experts on the board. I know that torque boxes were installed on certain A bodies, GTS 340/383 etc. Were they installed front and rear?
my 383 4 speed GTS has the torque boxes. my dads 340 auto GTS doesn't. both hard tops.
I think I,ve seen these repopped by U.S Cartool.It,s been a couple years since I seen the ad.I have a 73 340 4 speed D.Sport that has front and rear torque boxes.Question... does any company out there repop them? I may if they are not!
no expert but ive seen them on standard shift (3&4 speed) 68-71 dusters & darts front & rear , never on an auto car though..

Beautiful resto, but i would think the extra $$ would have been spent to put the correct 893 oil pan on it??1967 Barracuda 383 'Formula S', convertible
Front Sub-Frame
It's all sometimes hit and miss, but generally speaking for '67-'69 this is it:
1) All converts front and rear no matter motor size.
2) No boxes on /6 or 318 hardtops/fastbacks, ect
3) 340 autos no boxes
4) 340 4speeds have front and rear
5) 383 auto always rear, occasionally fronts from what I hear?
6) 383 4speeds always rear, occasionally fronts from what I hear?
7) 440 only built with automatics, always rear, never heard of any with fronts.
I'm not sure why but I've seen more 340 4speeds with both and 383 cars with just rears? Why I don't know, you would think the 383's would have both?
I have 2 340 4spds with both, a 340 auto with none, 3 383 4spds with rear only, 2 440 autos with rear only. Some guys will say BB cars have both but you can't prove that by me or any cars I've seen!

Yesterday while unloading the GTS I bought I noted that there were boxes on the rear and not the front. no big deal, just thought it was odd. Of course over the years Ma Mopar has been know for doing some on odd things on the assembly line.
