Sheet metal: 4-speed humps, floor pieces and IIRC full floors (Pass compartment). Also crank & door handles. Interior: Some seat material, carpet, windlace & gaskets, maybe the SS-style side trim panels. Trim: tail lamp lenses Underhood: detailing items like decals and some seals, Maxie intake & exhaust manifolds and full exhaust. Some items interchange '63-'65 plus less from '62. Note that the cowl, dash, roof & ft door window framing differs from the '62-'63 cars. You'll get to know Kramer's, restorationspecialties.com, and Joe Suchy (major '64 guy).

64 65 used a ball and trunion drive shaft.they also used the speedo gear thats one piece and clips on the cable.My 65s still works great.66 up 4 speed you change speedo gear and cable along with slip yoke drive shaft.Disc conversion find a 73 up A body or Diplomat,Aspen etc,They have taller spindles but seem to work better.You should have the old style rear also.Axles need changed.65 to 70 B body is a direct swap or Dr Diff has a conversion kit.If its was a /6 car you need V8 K member or the conversion mounts.Rocky

We've run 285/70's for over 20 years on our '64 Plymouth. Stock spring location and no minitubs...'69 B-body Dana.
If you are interested in running Calvert Racing monoleafs, let me know. I can give you the proper part #'s. It took Travis @ Calvert and I 3 different attempts at the rear segments to get the proper ride height.

SS springs require special hangers.Dont use the MP hangers.They are the wrong length.64 has a 21 inch front segment.SS are 20 inch.A member here makes the correct ones.Mancini sells them and I think he does also.Rocky
