WTB 1972 Coronet Frame Rail

[willem]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a piece of subframe for a 1972 Dodge Coronet (wagon). I have a rusted rail on mine (see https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/hole-in-sub-frame.182598/#post-911412069) and am looking for a replacement part. The location you can see in the picture below. The frame in the picture is not actually the same frame i have, but i put this in to indicate the location of the part i need.

@moparmarks He might be able to help. Also to help that front rail is the same on 71-2 B-bodies and not wagon specific...

If it's the passenger side
I have 2 of them
Just give me time
To dig out and take pics

As I have been thru this before
My question is do you have a container
To send it over
or are you planning to ship it there ?
To ship it there will be very expensive

 

[willem]

Well, actually it's the driver's side that's the worst

Ok
The drivers side I have is junk
Maybe MoparMarks might have something for you.

I don't have one available right now.

I have found a 1973 Charger frame rail. Will this fit on a 1972 Coronet?

I don't think it will work
front subframe suspension is different between 71-72 vs 73-74

Nope. I have some of those, 73/4.
71-2B and 70-4E will work.

You have to be careful with the e-body rails as they are different in 73-4. The rails are the same dimensions but the bumper bracket holes are not the same as 71-2 B & E they require relocating welded mounting nuts in the frame to use them...
