Bringing the weight thing up over and over gets tiresome. It just sounds like an excuse. You chose to run a heavy car. We chose too. Our '76 Dart weighs in at 3,600 pounds with my husband driving, 3,400 pounds without. So much for all A-bodies being light. LOL.
Should have gotten the earlier model. It is knowledgeeable info that the extra weight is carried in the bumpers and doors in A-bodies past 74'(govt. standard Safety door reinforcement bars and low speed crash absorbing front/rear bumpers - H-E-A-V-Y, whew!!), otherwise it would weigh a GOOD 2-300lbs LESS (with options depending!). Still A-bodies, can and will always hold their own at the track or on the street!! FYI: All the A-Bodies would have WEIGHED (nearly) the same since their build in early 60's, but age and the government made them FAT and heavy!! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)

what is the wheelbase on a b body? my driveshaft from the challenger slid right into my cuda but the rear was moved back some in the cuda
They vary but if I recall a B-body is 114 and a A-body is 108
Not ALL A-bodies have the same wheelbase. The 67-76 Dodge Dart has a longer wheelbase than a Duster/Demon.
Yeah thats why I said they vary ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)
