Hi all

Would a Dana 60 from a 69 charger fit under a 72 road runner with out much issue? Would their be much modification needed?
Thanks

Mikey

3" narrower than a 71-74 rear

Perches are also ~3" narrower.

It's not a drop in. Could the perches be moved out 1.5" on each side? Don't know if they can move that far without getting into the housing ends.

Wheels would need less offset.

This kit may help give him a call. It moves your stock springs in

Been years so... Put a dana 60 from a 69 body under my challenger (73) i used offset front hangers for A-bodies. I made rear rails and used straight hangers for the back. My understanding is the offset front hangers and offset rear hangers is all that is needed...that and perhaps slight grinding of the locating hole in the perches. I made sure my rear leafs were parallel for reduced rear roll steer, used the stock perches in stock location.....really cant remember if I did anything to the perches at all.... Allowed 15x10's with 295's with no clearance issues
