I would need to see a picture of a B body trunk hinge next to a charger trunk hinge to make an educated statement ... or look in my 69 parts book which is at home to see if there is a different part number for the 2 hinges ... the only thing I can see without that comparison that would be different would be the strut as they seem to chose it based on lid weight and I imagine a std B body steel lid is heavier than a charger lid.
Otherwise those are some slick hinges , I like the hood hinges , the operation of it would be so nice with bearings and struts compared to the original design.
yeah and sooooo worth $948.00 a set (plus shipping)

once you bend your hood because your 40 yr. old hinges are worn and rusy you'll be singing a different tune there mr.

I did not see $948 a set???? More like $350 for the trunk. I bought a set of the hood hinges from another source for $650. Pricey but AWESOME! No more creaking springs noise when opening and closing.Plus they LOOK killer!
Maybe you are adding hood and trunk to reach the $948 figure.

yes for front and rear, at $350 that's still too much. I'm not sure if the Charger units will work but i'd think Coronet/lite's would. In any event, you could probably grab a decent set at a show, or on e-bay for $25-50. As mentioned the roda might be differnet between 2 and 4 doors. look killer? who's going to open ur truck to look at the hinges...lol But hey i spend $2100 on a six pack when a decent intake a 4bbl would work, so who am I to judge.

... will the Charger hinges work on my 70 GTX?
FWIW, the 69 & 70 parts books shows 3 different sets of part#s.
- B body Plymouth, LH/RH are same part#
- B body Dodge (except Charger), LH/RH are different part#s
- Charger, LH/RH are same part#
