I'd be cutting off the perches and rewelding them where they need to be. The easiest solution & will maintain original gemetry & parts. Different/modified driveshaft needed.

I purchased the same brackets & welded them on my 71 LCA's. I used a factory sway bar & mounted everything to the K to mock it up & get the position correct for the parts I was using. I can get you measurements in a day or 2 if I dont have to work a double shift tonight, if you'd like. I highly...

If the exhaust is unhooked, would it be possible to put a srap around the header and ratchet-strap it to tweek it enough to clear?

I invested in this kit years ago. Mine is identical but sold as Blue-Point. It makes just about any flare, even newer injection & transmission line flares... Nice tool if your considering making your own. I make all my own, just pick the size & material. Boom, done...

I went with Mopar Performance from Summit on my 71'. https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/leaf-springs/product-line/mopar-performance-original-equipment-leaf-springs Top 2(right and left) are in stock at $140/spring. Think they'd ship free also. I've heard good things about Espo, but I...

Air shocks were on a 68' Ford Ranchero GT I had baught years back to help with saggy springs. I put about 20 psi in them but they was only 1 Schrader valve that "t"ed to each shock. The ride was fine going straight but corners & turns felt like the air was getting pushed back & forth as the car...

Next time start the nut & use a punch on the end of the shaft(inside the nut using the nut as a guide).. I replaced all mine from Fastenal. The bolts for the lower balljoing to spindle have the same thread nuts but the ones from Fastenal are a "grip"-co style like the originals...

I'll agree woth NAPA being better at the stock for older vehicles... But newer cars the quality seems identicle to whats offered by the BBStores. One thing I like about my local NAPA is they even carry some agricultural/farm heavy duty tractor parts & always been able to offer something for them...

Isnt it possible to grind the heads of the brake shoe pins off from the backing plates & pull it apart? I know its a little work but sounds like even with parts you'd still have to get it to roll so you'd still hafta disassemble everything...

My 71 is assembled for mobility w/out TB's installed & heres the best pic I could get a few min ago...

Upon studying your photos, those bushings dont look right. Is the pin pivoting in the bushing? Doesnt look like the pin is in all the way and also looks like the bushing isnt fully seated in the CA... If those only have 500 miles on them, theres something wrong and they should be replaced...

Did you leave the pivot stud nut loose untill you got all your suspension assembled and torsion bars set/hieght adjusted? I believe you tighten the nut last to "set" the stud at ride hieght... It also sounds like your T bars arent "clocked" correctly, or not on the right side(left & right are...

I loosened the torsion bar adjuster & the pivot nut on the LCA, unbolted the shock for max unsprung travel & jacked it up till it was in the air. Removed the torsion bar clip in the trans crossmember & mine jigled right out(twards the rear).

No problem, just cover shipping & it's yours. Gona be a few weeks at least... I crawled under & grabbed a few pics of mine in that area a few minutes ago. The rear part of my frame doesnt exist due to rot under the original vinyl top that let moisture live in the trunk...

The mount is part of the framerail. How does the rest of the framerail look? Inspect it closely & if you only need the front portion where the spring mounts, i will gladly give you mine, as I am replacing the entire rail. I'm currently finishing the roof before I mount the car on a jig, so it...

FWI, loosen the LCA mounting nut where it bolts to the K-frame before making adjustments to your torsion bars. After your adjusment, give the front of the car a "bounce" to re-seat the LCA mount before tightening the nut back up. If this isn't done, premature failure of the LCA bushing may...
