For Sale Wanted - 71 sub frame Northern CA, OR, WA

swilling · Oct 15, 2019

Feeling out some options. Just found a huge crack in the front of my subframe. Before deciding to pull it out and patch it. Would like to know what’s out there for what price. I’m driving up the west coast to Vancouver in December so be interested in anything between San Francisco and Vancouver.
Frame can be bare or complete. What’s out there?!

car is a 1971 two door Newport royal with factory 360
Cheers
Sam

There is Wildcat in Oregon, or maybe member Tallzag here on the board might have a line on something, believe he's out of Olympia WA?

Other years and models will work, doesn’t have to be ‘71. In fact,
I had a ‘73 that would have worked perfectly.

This thread will give you all the info you need:

You didn't mention what car you have. If you have a Plymouth, you could use the sub frame out of this Fury if he still has it.

Brian's Auto Salvage in American Canyon, CA (Near Vallejo) had a 72 Plymouth in the yard. I saw it years ago....and it was still there recently, someone here posted pics of it within the last year.

Oh yes, that's the rub. Paul, I think you were the one that posted the previous pics that I was thinking of....

I wonder what condition them stubs are in....?

what stubs ?

Stub frames on a Chrysler and Dodge are the same in 1971 but Plymouth is different due to the shorter torsion bars. So don't get the wrong one. Here is an explanation from the previous long thread posted above on stubframes from sfgt:

The V8 Frames are not all the same. The difference between the 47 inch torsion bar frames found on Chryslers and Dodges and the 44 inch torsion bar frames found on the Plymouth's and later Dodges can be identified by the torsion bar hex anchor in the crossmember. This is where the 3 inch difference is on both type of frames, on the longer T-bar frames the anchor is longer and protrudes out the back more than the shorter T-bar frames, all other dimensions are the same.
