I guess the basic question I have at this point is what other cars, van or trucks can I salvage the parts from. there are no darts in the junkyards here so I'm thinking a Volare, a Diplomat, a Cordoba (maybe) or a van or truck from the same era. Am I correct. Are there others I'm not thinking about. The most important thing seems to be the spindle. Most of the rest of the stuff can still be purchased new but is cheaper at the junkyard. Am I correct. thanks for any info......vic :D

What brakes do you have now? If you have 10" drums you can keep your existing upper control arms. If not you'll need upper control arms from a '73 and newer A-body. The spindles can come from a '73-'74 E-body, a '73-'76 A-body or any F-M-J body car like a Diplomat, LeBaron, 5th Ave, Volare or Aspen. No trucks or vans need apply.

Any B body, R body, E body or FMJ body brake system will bolt on to a '74 A body. The best system to use is the 1976 or newer 11.75 setup but you'll need 15 inch rims to clear the big rotors. The 11.75 rotors only came on the late model B body and R body cars.

Only the rear wheel drive LeBarons are suitable donors.
