OK, will do. Thanks for the info. Will try to get some pics on here. I have measured diagonal across the mount holes and it is the same, less than 1/16. If I get some good photos you will probably see why I am a little concerned. Sure wish there was an affordable "like new" option. I have all new stuff to rebuild this one, just hate to replace every worn part only to discover that I need a new k-frame too.
You should be able to find a replacement K frame for under a C note , unless this is a HEMI K ... big block and small block in 69 is the same K .

Yes, I did find one in a Road Runner, was one, not much left but the guy wanted $200 and the idler arm mount was different, perhaps it was a '68, but the mount for the idler arm captured the bottom of the bolt only and mine holds top and bottom of the pivot bolt point. If only I had a photo to show. Gotta get that. Thanks for the input.
That is a 67 K frame , you don't want that , and 200 is definitely too high , you can get then for 50 bucks at carlisle all weekend long ...

Yes. In his defence, that was drum to drum but no steering box.
still too much , it probably didn't have a swaybar or the proper lower control arms and brake drums that were real rusty and cut beyond max.

I may do that but for now I,m gonna see what comes to the largest Mopar event in the area, "Mopars at the Battleship", only 20 min. from my house. There is usually a couple of dozen guys with parts and pieces. The event is next week end, Saturday the 26th. Pretty good turn out if the weather holds out. Good location too, just off I-10. If the cars don't show you can always tour the USS Alabama, big gun battleship and the related attractions. Thanks for the option.
On my list of things to do since moving here...

trying to send a photo of my car. Ok that worked, I have replied to you post with the great photo of your Perfect car three times and when I try to attach a photo the whole thing just dissappears. I am computer handicapped, not good in this era.
