Original hemi dart information

mannymen · 02-24-2011, 12:07 PM

Maybe I missed this in the other 66 pages of info on this thread, but can someone answer a few questions regarding the 68 Dart Hemi's below.

1. What size rear wheel and tire combo was run on the 68 Darts. (What backspacing, rim siz, treadwidths, section widths etc...)

2. Were the shackles, perches and front lead spring mounts moved to accommodate the larger rear tires. If so where were they moved to.

3. Were the inner wheel wells also modified from the stock configuration to accommodate the larger rear tires and rims?

4. What size front tires and rims were used and with what backspacing back in the day?

5. Who (business) currently restores the Darts, that can help answer questions? I'm looking at buying and cloning a 68 Dart, but minus the Hemi engine of course. I just want the body to be cloned (rear quarters cut and stance/ride height)

Thanks
Manny
