k member ????

K frame question.....The frame on the right is a small block A body Kframe. What the heck is the one one the left? Notice how the mounts line up with the k frame holes....Thanks.

looks like pre 70 b body

'67-'69 B body V8 K-frame would be my guess.

The first visual clue is that the 67 and later A body K frames are almost straight across the front edge, while B body units are curved. Now whether the B unit is for a slant six or V8 I cant tell. I can say that it IS NOT a HEMI K member.

The one on the left looks like a b-body 68 or 69 V-8 K-frame. Notice the idler arm bracket, it's the 68 and newer through bolt style, also notice the holes on the front edge for the 69 and older style sway bar attachment.

Ok, thanks for the replies. Next question, Is a B body v8 k frame worth anything or should it go in the next junk car I scrap? Reason I ask, I would think most B bodies started of with this k member to begin with. What do you think?

In Sacramento, the going rate for scrap metal is in the 3 1/2 cents per pound range. The K member is worth FAR more than that to someone that has a car with a bent or damaged one. If for nothing else, you should offer it to a needy enthusiast rather than let it go to waste in China, only to return as cheap Harbor Freight tools.
