I'm putting together the '62 turbo Signet and was offered some Firm Feel components that were purchased for a '73 Dart. I was wondering what will work and what can be made to and what wont? I have Wilwood front discs (5 on 4 1/2) if that changes anything... 1 1/8 sway bar kit Tubular upper control arms 1'' torsion bars b body 5 leaf HD rear leaf w/poly bushings If I remember correctly the rear poly bushings wont work and the sway kit might take some fabricating. Thanks again for all the support! Cheers, Lob |

Rear leafs and torsion bars will bolt right in. UCAs will work only with 73-up spindles, or redrill/ream your spindle for the larger balljoints. Sway bar is too wide and mounts differently on 73-up K-frame - no go. Lou |

Thanks Lou, I had a feeling it was too good to be true. Maybe I can buy the deal and sell the part that wont work for my cost if any body is interested? But that is OK, I kind of want the 1 1/4 front sway anyway. Cheers, |

I adapted at '75 sway bar my '65. I does take some cutting and welding on the K member to make it fit. All the suspension part will swap straight across except the center link, idler arm and pitman arm. I am making an assumption that the '62 K member is the same as the '65s. |
