E Body Front Frame Rails on a B Body?

[dasol7172]

Hi all. Was doing some research again on possible solutions to my rotted out LH B-body frame rail issue and noticed that some sites listed B-body shocktowers/frame rails as B-body & E-body for 71-74

Saw it here: http://nationalmoparts.com/parts-catalogue?category_id=670&page=shop.browse&limit=20&limitstart=20

So.. could i use E-body repro front frame rails on the 72 SSP? I've not seen it listed anywhere for or against.

Forgot to add. The reason I ask is that both body shops that I had a quote done said that B-body frame rails are very hard to find. And when I did my initial search a few months ago there were not listings like above.

Thanks!

definitely not 73+ BBodys due to change in the Kframe and suspension isolation

Ah yes.. sorry Correction. 71-72 B-body and 71-74 E-body.

B bodies are easier to find used and they are reproduced adm, goodmark.amoungest others.

Same parts.

Thanks mmissile.

Opens a bunch more options as I've found until i searched today only one place making repro b-body frame rails and they wanted $420 EA Maybe I can source some used e-body ones or find a cheaper option on repro.

Either way.. I can begin to prep pulling the front apart so I can get it fixed.

whats wrong with using a original?
at least it will fit better then that overpriced china junk you are looking at..
and before you say you cannot find them anywhere,
i know where some are and they would cost you less then a junk china one.

I might have a set off of a 72 charger but it depends on which 71 rt charger I wind up buying 1 needs them the other doesnt

Original is fine.. but I cant find any. I've searched in two states. Joined multiple mopar sites still nada. If you know where some are I am definitely interested in both LH/RH replacements.
