I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

I don't think they are.  I had to specify I needed them for a Charger when I got mine.

I think they actually are the same.....thge RR is a little shorter in the wheel base though, but that could be in the rear rail placement.

Do you have a used piece available or NOS or ? Cause Im preety sure that the cheappy repos are the same for b-body....and the are not too great. IMO

The parts are not nessecarily differant , but if they arent they are put together in a little differant fashion ,cause they are diff. wheelbase.


P.S. Why do yo always need to have youre caps lock on????

Hah! That would be funnier than hell. Add some flames, stacks, and a dixie horn and your in business. :punkrocka:

the wheel base difference in B bodys came from the lengrh of the front spring perch, plymouths are about an inch shorter than the dodge.

I know!! I probably know more about diesels than some mechanics! Diesels are all I will ever have in trucks!!

I just took a wrecked Road Runner in my shop for full resto and compared spring perch to my Daytona , the Plymouth is shorter . So again all basic shell metal is the same .

yes, but measure first and make sure the body lines,width etc are the same

daytonalo

Not sure about rocker if the countour is diff , but the floor firewall , all of the basic structural stuff is the same

I used a complete rocker from a 69 Super Bee on my 68 Road Runner.  Fit perfectly for what that's worth.  Good luck!
