I finally got around to getting my early b body rear in my dart. few deails You HAVE to move the spring perches in about a half inch. I forget the actual measurement. I also has SS springs, but I believe you could get it to work with a bit of fender rolling. My cragars are 15x7 with a 4" backspace and 205/55/15 tires. (please ignore the primer, I just replaced both quarter panels and trunks floor)
What is the last year of this early B body that this can be use tnj91 Early B body years that will work = ? and thank you.
1962-1970 is what i found when i was looking. The measurement of an a body is 55.5" and those year b bodies were 59" so you have 1.75" extra on either side. An the perchers need to be cut and moved in a half inch on either side.
Mike, The narrowest of the B-body rears were the 1965-67 and make the best swap into an A-body. See flange to flange dimension below. B BODY '64 = 55 5/8" (Exc. Max Wedge) '65-'67= 54 1/4" '68-'70= 54 15/16" '71-'74= 57 7/8" '71-'73 wagon= 59 7/16"
