New project with my Dad....

Project with Dad 1973 dodge charge

A K-member after the year 66 I think.

I am almost sure a 69-70-71 K-member will work.

the issue is, early K-members (63-65) in a newer B-body will place the engine back too far.

Hang on, someone will verify this with more specifics soon.

PS: What happened to the K-member?
It must have been catastrophic!

(Nice car)

1973 and newer b body use a rubber bushing between frame rails and k frame. your best option is to locate one from the 73 and newer because you also need the larger torsion bars from a 400 or 440 car. 400 units a common. If you need frame rails, I have both front and rear for a red 73. I can locate a k frame If your in Denver or near by I am running a craigslist for 71-73 charger parts. I also have parts for step side trucks I think you live near Evergreen CO

If your located in Colorado or near by, I am running a listing for 71-74 dodge charger parts. Also have a set of frame rails for a 73 and new b-body removed for a 73 charger. Don't forget to upgrade the torsion bars using them from a 400.
