A '62 Dart is a B-body isn't it? If so, then it should be easy to bolt the factory 11.75 inch setup on there. That works better than the kits when using a 15 inch wheel.
I thought it was a B body that year also

'62 Dart is a B-Body.
Except the "b body" nomeclature was not introduced until 1963.

A freak? It is IMO for all intents and purposes, a named after the fact, one year only, Dart "B body", and always has had this nebulous pedigree, just to be clear. 
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Speedway motors has a nice kit that includes everything from the spindles to the splash shields.
Personally, I wanted to save weight so I went with the slightly more expensive Wilwood kit that bolts to the existing drum spindles. Find someone that can safety wire and you're all set!
