k member

[charger01]

I have a spare k member sitting in my garage that I believe came from a 70 charger bigblock car.  Is there any identification numbers to reference on it, or anyway to tell for sure?

Look for a "coin" welded somewhere on the k-member, if there is one it will have the last two digits of the part number.

If no coin is found you can find some ID info on the Schumacher site, scroll down on the left column:

The 1970 b body K frame is a one year only part.  It has a provision for the sway bar to pass through the center, 69 and older did not have this provision.  The b body k frame will have a "dent" on the face of the steering gear mounting plate.

If the K frame has a smooth face on the steering mount (no dent) it is an E body K frame which is the same as the 71-72 b body k frame.

Post a pic of the steering mount, and the bottom of the K, and I can tell you for certain which K you have.

The sway bar passes through a skid plate, I havent found a coin on it yet.  Where would it be located?

Ok, found the coin, it has a 79 stamped on it. what does that mean, anyone know?

A coin stamped 79 identifies a 3466479 k-member, it's from a '70 B body with a 440 w/skid plate.
