Same thing applies to pitman arms except of course for the 383's are different in 68 and 69... Last edited by Rhinodart; 03/31/22 08:23 PM.

I did have to dent the pan on the passenger side because of interference turning right.

It's yours for the ride. Needs to be cleaned and painted, but in very good shape, no dents. PM me and I'll email you pics... Joe Never mind Cab, I found a pic...

Go back and read the first post. Exactly! This thread is about ORIGINAL big block Darts, not cobbled up Darts with big blocks installed, all that crap may work just fine and be cheaper but the OP wanted to know about ORIGINAL big block A-Body's, please try to stay on topic...

Only arm that’s different I’d the 67 BB GT Last edited by dart4forte; 04/02/22 12:11 AM. “So if it’s on the internet it must be true” Abe Lincoln
