For truck arm components without the "bling" go here!
http://www.stockcarproducts.com/
Look under rear suspension, 51" long arms for less than $230.
Should be plenty stout enough, come in both ball end and rubber bushed.
I don't know, but would shop around, I bet you can get some deals on this stuff!
How many circle track cars last for more than a year or two?
I know if I ever open driveline a torque tube car this is the route I'll be taking!
It closely mimics the original setup.

Hello All, Prices are canadian I have a 1975 2door Hornet for Sale. 258

originally Beige with white roof. I had the parking lot dings fixed and
painted SASSY GREEN. 1971 Mopar colour. Tinted rear windows. Brown interior
in very nice shape. Still has the perfect original spare and trunk mat. I
drove this car out to the Return of the ramblers in 2003. The car needs
front shocks and a New Muffler. Radiator was recored and NOS Carb installed.
Some of the Paint is peeling off the hood edge and the trunk. There is one
spot in front of the passenger rear wheel that shows some small bubbles.
There is no Mud anywhere in the car. No Rust repairs anywhere in the car.
The windshield has a crack in it. Over all a very solid Low mile car that
screams for a V8 Conversion or a nice 4.0 stroker. Price is $2500.00 Next up
is a 28K Original mileage 1973 Javelin. 401 Auto 3.15 Posi. Original Yellow
Paint with Black interior. 8 Slot Rims with centers. The original engine

360 engine with the 727 Auto have have been driving the car sparingly Over
the past few years. The car needs the rear wheel cylinders replaced. The
head liner has a hole above the sunvisor. The winsheild has a large blemish
. I have new Black carpet for the car. There are 3 seperations in the driver
front seat. There is some damage to the rear tail panel between the tail
lights. I have a replacement panel. No Rust anywhere else on the car.
386 -401 equipped Javelins were built. I do not know the breakdown for Auto
verus 4spd. Price is $6000.00 Next is a 1968 Rebel 550 convertible.290 auto.
Only 800 1968 rebel convertibles were made in 1968. Most of them were SST
models. 330 Of the 550 models were built. Last year for an AMC Convertible.
I purchased this car a few years ago. Changed fluids and drove the car 400
Km home. The only thing missing was the convertible Boot and rear glass.
Also the passenger side sun visor. The car was disassembled and some parts
are powered coated. Others are Painted . The car is blue. Things still to
do. Floor pans need repair as they have rust. Passenger rear qtr needs
replaced or repaired. I have a rear qtr and a complete trunk pan. The trunk
has some rust as well. Trunk hood doors and fenders have been sand blasted
and primed. Underside of trunk and hood is painted. Door edges and interior
are painted. The convertible top needs a new hinge piece or the original
repaired. The car has a running 360 4bbl 727 auto in it right now. I have
the correct 290 BW auto to go with the car. Also have a 4bbl intake. Consul
and buckets to be installed. The car is an original Bench seat model. Lots
of NOS parts Tail lights ,Sun visor ,grille and headlight doors, New
convertible roof , Fuel sending unit. Brake cables Brakes Marker lights
front and rear. Many More NOS parts. Black Interior parts as I was going to
swap in a black interior instead of a Blue interior. Overall a very nice
restoration Project. You don't have to go looking for anything. Price is
$4500.00 1958 Rambler Super 250 V8 4bbl automatic with Posi Rear. Air
conditioning with tinted glass. The car is complete except for the radio.
Push button Transmission. The motor ran when the car was parked But is now
stuck. There is some mud on the passenger side rear door and qtr. Appears to
have been hit and mudded to fix. Solid metal underneath. $500.00 1948 Willys
overlander jeep. Body has very little rust. Comes with the 1948 front clip
and a 1956 front clip. Origional flat head 4 cly and 3 speed tranny out of
the vehicle and engine is seized. Looks like all the parts are there. 51,000
miles. Missing a rear hub so would need to be trailered My plans were to

A bald man with a wooden leg gets invited to a Halloween party.
He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so
he writes to a costume company to explain his problem. ?
A few days later he received a parcel with the following note:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit.
The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your
wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.
Very truly yours, Amc Costume Co.
The man thinks this is terrible because they have just emphasized his
wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint.
A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a monk's habit.
The long robe will cover your wooden leg and,
with your bald head, you will really look the part.
Very truly yours, Amc Costume Co.
Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his
wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the
Company another nasty letter of complaint.
The next week he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:
Dear Sir,
Please find the enclosed bottle of molasses.
Pour the molasses over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your
ass and go as a caramel apple.
Very truly yours, Amc Costume Co

The T-10 was built from the T-85 not the T-89. BTW the T85 is probably
the strongest 3sp ever made, it was used behind the Ford 406/405 and
Mopar max wedge.
