But, he did get a TrueTrac in the other day. He also warned me that Randy's had a batch made this year and rejected them all because of material problems. So if you see a new Powr-Lok on the 'bay or other places, it is probably the Randy's reject and you don't want it. Machining problems may be repairable but material problems aren't usually. R.

In this application, you can't just "move the spring perch" because the U-bolts would end up on top of the housing end. Contact info

That is what I used on 75 Cordoba and just modified the perch slightly. Sorry Doc, You are right I was going the wrong direction on previous post. (Deleted.)

Track width on all 62-70 B's is not 59.2... Want a better reference, it's here in the tech archive... http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/axle/16.html
