    After 44 years..

    My 71 Cuda has gone to a new home. I haven’t driven it much since I finished my hemi Belvedere. The car was not actively for sale but word of mouth brought an interested individual to my attention. After a year of discussion, the Cuda was loaded up and is on its way. Was a sad day for me but...

    3" leaf spring relocation kit

    Dr. Diff kit will move the springs in about 1". You will likely need to narrow the e-body diff to fit those wheels. Do lots of mock-ups and measuring.

    3" leaf spring relocation kit

    Dr. Diff kit, no mini tub, 295/65-15 drag radial (30" tall). IMO, 3" relocation is a waste of time if not mini tubbed since wheel well size will control tire size not spring placement. Do lots of measuring.

    Going to a Swap meet- Where do I measure Diff lengths

    Not certain on exact years, but Dana 60 came in many 80s and 90s 3/4 ton dodge trucks and vans. A truck Dana will be wider than a car unit, so you can narrow it to fit your application. Tubes stay in but the ends get cut off and replaced with new ends. Truck/van units typically do not have a...

    Going to a Swap meet- Where do I measure Diff lengths

    John, I have found that every car is different. I did lots of measuring and test fitting before anything was finalized. I used hemi style springs with 1" over from ESPO, and they are offset inboard 1". I ran string lines and plumb bobs to make sure things would not hit the quarter panel. I...

    Going to a Swap meet- Where do I measure Diff lengths

    I used a stock e-body width Dana from Dr. Diff. Springs offset. Custom backspace steel wheels. 295/65 tires. Everything fits snug with no rubbing. 8.75 will work until you get traction, then you may have problems. The Dana was marginally more expensive than a reinforced 8.75, so I went that way.

    Complete Dash Re-assembly

    I reassembled mine, including the dash pad, on the bench and then installed as a unit. Then reconnect electrical, heater cables, etc. and you are done (but easier said than done). Windshield will add a challenge. Instrument cluster can be removed without pulling dash. So that is how a fuel...
