Does anyone have any idea who sells the crash spec sheets with measurements for 71-2 B body? The car I put a down payment on (profile pic) has a bent frame rail.
 
Frame alignment is covered in the FSM. If needing more than that consult a frame shop.
 
Great. I have the manuals on the way. It looks like the tie rod came loose and the back of the wheel slammed into the frame. I'm not sure which is more reasonable,replacing the frame rail or having it straightened.
 
What is the chances of a modern shop having 71 specs?
 
Again, the factory manual has the specs in black and white. As long as the shop employees can read English, you should be in good hands.
 
Which do you think is more cost effective, replace the rail or a frame shop? It also needs a lower rad support and valance.

You will need a frame shop regardless. That rail needs to be brought back into alignment even if replaced. Primary reason. Anything else that got displayed also needs straightened.
 
I have those downloaded somewhere. If you don't find them, I'm sure I can find them. As far as the support or rear valence, AMD
 
FWIW, You might enlarge those drawings so you're sure where the arrow heads point...………

The manuals came but it only shows satellite wagon specs and nothing for 2drs. Are they the same basic chassis and wheelbase?
 
71 service manual pg 238 go to my mopar 1971 body service manual. click the link in my last post.

It says station wagon on what you posted too. I assume they are saying wagon and other Satellites are the same wheelbase and the same structure.
 
Note the asterisk near station wagon, don't known what it means. You really need to download the body manual to read it. If you only have phone it would be impossible to read. Just having dimensions doesn't help unless you do frame work I guess.
 
It's the same diagram in the manuals I just bought and also says station wagon.
 
All I can say go under the undamaged part of your and see if measurements match up. If not the search continues .

Not totally sure but I'm thinking that asterisk (*) along with two dimensions, with the asterisks typically being high on the typed line, then just lower would be the referenced dimension. By that it would appear the shorter 58.33 to be the wagon dimension...…….

I don't know that wheelbase has to be the same as spring and perch lengths can change.
From the '71 Hamtramck Historical wheelbase dims......
