1964 Plymouth Sport Fury Torsion bars

[Walt Clark]

Our family is restoring a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible, which we bought as a "kit" of parts from someone who got tired of the effort required. We need front torsion bars, since the car came to us without any, but we do not know which to buy. Do 1964 and 1965 B bodies use the same bar? I see a lot of ads for 65 &up but not for 1964. Are Fury and Sport Fury bars the same? What torsion bars will work for our car?

Thanks,

Walt

Torsion bars are determined by the vehicle model and engine size. The factory service manual will have the information. 440'

All 1962 to 1972 B body torsion bars will fit in your car. From the factory the diameters changed depending on engine size, and whether it had HD suspension etc. A stock V/8 car would be .88 or.90 inches in diameter. I would go bigger than that, but it depends on what your plans are for the car.

So why do all the ads state 65-72 B body? Confusing!

You have to do your own research, especially if it is one of the big box suppliers.

Some vendors don't know much about Mopar cars so they list wrong information. Hotchkis is a good example. They sell torsion bars but they don't know that their torsion bars will fit early B body cars. Firm Feel knows that the B body torsion bars fit '62 to '72 cars. So you just have to call someone who knows what they are talking about. Or do some research. There are several books written on Mopar suspensions as well as the books sold by Mopar Performance. The information is out there, just have to look for it.
