Torque boxes are probably the product of axle packages, motors, body type and what the line worker felt like doing that day.

Tell us what type of car you have and maybe we can tell you if it likely had torque boxes.

You need to supply more info to help solve the puzzle. Is this for and E body or a B body?

What gear ratios does each car have?

I have the same options as 72ls5fla and also have front and rear torque boxes. I believe all 70 E-body 440 and Hemi cars received torque boxes, regardless of axle package. I can't speak to 71, however.

I have a 70 A66 Challenger 340 convertible.
It has both front and rear torque boxes.
I believe that ebody convertibles all got the boxes
