Well doodle squat

[duckbuster]

I knew my 73 Dart Swinger had been hacked because I bought a slant six body (no motor or trans) but it a rusted dual exhaust, (V-8) at one point. No shifter handle at sterring wheel but had holes in the floor where a floor shift had been mounted. I also new the wheel openings in the rear had been modified on the out side. I just found the inner wells had been cut and pushed straight up, and to top it all off, the rear end has a 5 on 4 inch bolt circle and the front end is a 5 on 4 and 1/2. Why must people butcher cars? :angry7: Oh Well it is mine now, bought and paid for.:cheers: Just will take more money to repair, and I get to work on it longer.:toothy10:

Check the rear axle, that "hack job" might have landed you an 8.75" axle, which is semi rare stuff in this day and age.

Bummer. I was thinking the same thing. Are you sure??? Not saying you dont know what your talking about or anything, just trying to help. Maybe someone had done a bunch of work on it at one time and sold all of the good parts off of it. I've seen that happen a lot.

yeah rear end cover bolts on at the back and it has 9 bolts and is a peg leg. I think it was a real hot car at one time then stripped and sold what was left. I did manage to get some Mopar 340 hood scoops. though.
