Has anyone installed a straight axle into a 68 Dart? I have been thinking about building a Gasser style car with a straight axle. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks,Ashley!

way back when I was in the 9th grade, (1971) there was a guy at my highschool who put a straight axle under a year old challenger r/t. car looked pretty cool back then. can't help you about putting one in, but look at some back issues of Hot Rod magazine. they had a bunch of straight axle cars in there within the last 6-8 months or so. good luck.

Here's a 1970 Dart, first one i've seen. Check it out  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodg...5QQihZ009QQcategoryZ6201QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem     -o

I helped stitch together a couple of chevelles and a 67 firebird in that gasser style look back in the early 80's. we used a dropped T front suspension out of an ancient 100-series ford van. it seemed to work pretty well although the firebird had a few issues due to poor welding and general design but overall they were fairly problem free (front suspension-wise at least).

love that old-school hotrod look. thats really the first time Ive seen that done on an A-body. I kinda like it.

that's kinda 8) but why? and why would you leave the "K" member in?

the lower rear quarters are cut out?

I agree with don. That's more of a `65 and older thing. I do like the repop ET gasser style front wheels but I would keep the independent front suspension.

On the plus side - for a BBD the header/tire clearance does appear to be an issue.
Had a friend that did a '66 Signet up like that - looked pretty cool.
