To switch to big bolt pattern

[Flem Stetson]

Hi. I have a 69 Dart I'm building, and I would really like to put Keystone Klassics (now made by Cragar) on it. But they're not made with the small bolt pattern. The axles I need for the rear are available, but the front end is a different story. I would like to buy the parts I need from someone (it doesn't have to be disc brakes, although that would be nice) or find out if there's another way. I heard from someone that a machine shop could just make the modifications, has anyone heard of this being done?
Thanks, Ralph

The parts are from the 73-76 A -bodies you need the upper control arm and
everything to the lower control arm.This site will give you the info you need.

All you need are adapters like these..... sold on EBAY. They are CNC billet
aluminum and strong as heck. They come in different thickness.
I suggest 1 inch wide for your application. I had a set on my GMC Sonoma to fit
Corvette rims on the truck. Never had a problem. They bolt right
on using 4 inch pattern studs and produce a 4.5 inch pattern stud
for you to bolt the new rims on. These are the 2.5 inch thick ones
I had on my truck to get the 9.5 inch wide Corvette rims on without a
clearance issue. My truck went from skinny little tires to awesome fat
squatty look.

4 inch to 4.5 inch bolt pattern adapters cost about $70.00

A good machine shop can drill your rear axles and drums as well as the front drums. I chose to go aftermarket axles w 2 1/2" brakes rear and a 73 disc set up on my 69 Swinger, but my 68 dart was drilled and I had no problems.
