Getting ready to upgrade my 64 Fury Convertible (318 Auto) suspension....not a hot rod but she really runs great.

I am planning a minor upgrade to the front with all new bushings and maybe tubular control arms.

The rear springs are shot....are there any recommendations for a moderately priced upgrade? Four link etc?
 
Forget the 4 link. 4 links are pro street and race. Just get some quality rear springs and good shocks. Keep it simple.
 
For springs, try here.
1964 - 1965 Dodge, Plymouth rear leaf spring, 6 leaf

The rest of it is pretty easy to source. For joints/bushings/arms etc, try Craig. @mobileparts

Get some shocks and torsion bars too. Also easy b-body stuff. Since it's a ragtop, have you looked at doing frame connectors? Do you have power steering or manual? If p/s, there are some upgrades possible there too.
 
I driven B body convertibles with and without subframe connectors. Connectors help on a H/T. But they really help on a convertible. Totally eliminates cowl shake. A friend of mine had an ex drag car Fury convertible with connectors. I built him a Max wedge style 440 with a 5 speed manual and a 3.55. Car was a blast to drive. Also built a 440 for a friends 70 Coronet R/T convertible. No connectors. It drives good, but not as solid as the 64. Both a very nice cars.

Has anyone tried Cal Trac mono leafs without the bars?
Mike
I do, and they work great. More of a bracket car. @GTX JOHN has as well and endorses. Although they're probably the best choice leaf, I'm not sure everyone is sold on the mono look.
