Thanks

Thanks All the parts are the same between the body styles, and brakes. No difference to them at all. The "small" nuts, washers, are 9 inch "Drum" brakes on all the A Body cars.

Everything is at another location so I wasn't going to drive over there if they were for sure a different size. Hopefully I can cannibalize it. Thanks

Parts off a 73 will not work on the Drum brake Dart. You need to look for a drum brake A body car at the wrecking yards. RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

burdar OP Owen's Dad Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 7,371 Iowa	I'm actually putting 73+ spindles on the 68 and don't have the washers and castle nuts. I've got the complete 68 drum setup I was hoping to cannibalize. Either way, you gave me the info I needed. Thanks! So, will 80's Dodge truck parts fit the 73+ spindles? There are a few Dodge trucks at the yard in town. Last edited by burdar; 04/03/15 04:17 PM.
