Hi guys, looking for some info. Does anyone make reproduction touque boxes for 1971-72 b-body charger and roadrunners? Looking for stock style. Any info would be great.

I know they are made since they used my nos rear ones for the repos. I will try and find who that was but I know he is on this board.

BTW, just so you know, the fronts that I used to sell were duplicates of the E-body style, they look very similar and may also fit a 71/72 B-body but there may be some slight cosmetic and fit differences.

Wilson Productions in St. Louis makes really nice ones. I supplied the orginals from a 71 GTX.
Just sold some to Finch at the MATS

I looked at the ones they have posted. Is that how stock ones looked?

Yes, the Wilson fronts are more accurate to originals.

Yep thats them. You weren't but 40' from a pair when you picked up your axles from Cass.

Miguel - Not sure what you're going for here (correctness or functionality), but there was a third set of reinforcements used on the rear leaf spring perch of 71 & 72 B-Bodies. They are simple flat pieces with no bend. It has 2 slots for welding to the shackle perch. The other end is butted to the sub-frame and welded to create a box-section. The center hole is most likely a tooling hole that can serve as a drain hole...

yes, those rer ones were $1000 I saw there. If there were more, I must have missed them. I was too busy running for cover when the storm hit.

We are building a clone 1972 440 HP car and want it to look original as possible. Allways appreciate your good feedback when you post (like the rear swaybar for a dana 60 you posted a few months back).

We have the die stamped rears, I can tell you they are EXACT to original.
The front ones you can get from Wilson, they already make them so there is no need for us to make em... thats the only type of torque box we dont make.
We have all other reproduction factory style for all body platforms (A, B and E) in stock. They are accurate to original.
