74 gtx

[Algobryan]

Need abit of help here. Does all 74 gtx have torque boxes at the rear spring mounts or was it use what we have left by dec 73. Have seen 2 74 gtx's without and 2 74 gtx's with in the last 4 months and one of the ones without is for sale with a dec 73 build date on the drivers door.The dash vin matches and the motor is a k 440 hp stamping.Rads correct.Fender tags matches Has big block front passenger inner fender/6 leaf springs aside in the rear( Thought there was to be 7 on one side).Has resonators on exhaust with 74 2 stamped on them. The owner say all numbers match.Painted once . Has typical mopar rust. Would like to know if should have torque boxed rear springs like my 71 R/t before getting more into depth on the car.

Thanks Bryan

Guess I never knew they made GTX's in 74.

Does it have front torque boxes? The 440 equipped cars came with both front and rear toque boxes. My guess is that it may possibly have been an issue at the plant it was built at? They were either built in St Louis or Windsor Ontario Canada, I have seen differences in the bodies between plants and even in between shifts. I'm curious if it has front torque boxes or not? It may have even been an employee issue where they forgot to weld them in, or just plain didn't know any better?
So my question for you is, what is the vin#? What plant was it built at? And does it have front torque boxes in it?
To answer your question, 69 GTX, there were no GTX's built after 71. If you were buying a Road Runner, and checked off the box for the 440 engine, you got the GTX badge on the hood in 73/74, but there was no actual package or option for it.
