Re: 69 340 4-speed SWINGER - 05/02/10 10:12 PM

Not to hijack the thread but that is not that burnt. This is burned. Real 71 340 4 speed Duster Rust free Matching # California Car. Burned in a garage. Soon to be parted out. Ouch.

Re: 69 340 4-speed SWINGER - 05/12/10 02:10 AM

Got the front floor pan, inner fenders, frame rails, Just waiting for torsion bar crossmember and it starts to go together.

Re: 69 340 4-speed SWINGER - 05/12/10 02:46 AM

Geez the original floor pan looked solid, why did you remove it? Same question about the front frame rails?
Posted By: sleepyhead416

Re: 69 340 4-speed SWINGER - 05/12/10 03:09 AM

Torsion bar cross member was shot. Front rail drivers side was in bad shape.
Posted By: ScottSmith_Harms

Re: 69 340 4-speed SWINGER - 05/12/10 04:10 AM

You had to remove the entire floor pan just to replace the TB cross member? Why not replace just the one bad frame rail? Save that rad core support, it contains the cars Seq VIN number stamping......

Re: 69 340 4-speed SWINGER - 05/16/10 11:45 PM

Sometimes its easier just to replace the whole floor then to butt weld in a bunch of patches. Especially with the availability of full floor pans.
