RE: Mopar Red's 1962 Dart

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been following this thread occassionally and I thought that a 62 
Dart was a B body car.

I would not want to shove on 5x4" rotors on that car.  I'm fairly 
certain that it has 5x4.5" hubs now.

I suspect that the 73-76 A body set up or other compatible set ups would 
be more appropriate.

Sorry to have butted in but I'm concerned about Lester getting the wrong 
items.

I'll crawl back under my rock now.
