I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A DUMB QUESTION, HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN HELP.  :scratchchin:
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A-BODY, E-BODY, ETC. ( IF SOMEONE COULD, EXPLAIN ALL OF THEM)
WHICH ONE IS THE EASIEST TO FIND PARTS FOR AND WHICH IS THE HARDEST?
I HAVE A 1973 DODGE CHARGER S/E, WHAT IS IT?


THANKS FOR THE HELP, WHOEVER CAN.  :cheers:     DRE

you have a B-body.  A bodies are smaller in size.  The B bodies are probably easier to find parts for.

Agree to a degree. I think it's easier to find used parts for B-Bodies but E-Bodies have more reproduction parts available.

Where did the A B C  and E thing come from? Why no D?

Chrysler also produced F, J, K, and M bodies in the 70's and 80's.

YEAH, The Australian Valient is based on the A body.  I know nothing of the Aussie suspension
though.  73 to 76 A body (USA) disk brake spindles are what you need for a disk brake conversion. 
The whole package from the junkyard is the way to go.  Master cylinder, prop valve & brakes from
the donor make it a snap.  Be sure to rebuild everything.
