superstocks in a c body

[furyus 67]

Ok I feel like a total idiot! I can not believe I didnt notice this before! I figured out the mystery, sorry it took so long.

I forget what the issue was and what are you showing?

We were trying to figure out how the 67 newyorker has super stock springs, Tallhair and few others were suprised it had them. I heard it car was a 440 4speed at one time. Now i see these relocation brackets, possibly b body springs?

 

[tallhair]

Maybe you can mod the brackets to fit them in your Fury

Or maybe they are from a Fury ;)

 

[furyus 67]

Not from a 67 fury tallhair. They look aftermarket and dont have near as much patina. I just might use them , will see once i wrap the engine up.

Looks like they weren't long enough, so they used some sqaure steel stock and sorta made em work. That cars been hacked together......

Does look home made. May be crude, but looks like it would get the job done. Gotta give em cudos for that. I'd keep em, and use em if you wanted to run the SS springs. Opens up a lot more possibilities for rear springs, if any B body spring will fit.

That's true. His parts car has had many oddities.

Well that answers the question. The brackets are making up for the difference in the front measurement between Chrysler springs and 67/8 Fury/66-70 B body springs in the A to center measurement.


Well they may be B body Springs and they may be super stock springs. The Fury springs are 3" shorter than Chrysler springs on the A to center measurement but the same as B body springs on the A to center measurement. Fury springs are 1" longer on the center to B measurement than B body springs. So the front half may be correct with normal brackets, the rear would be 1" to short, or shorter than Fury stock springs and 1" shorter than stock Chrysler springs. That may not be too difficult to overcome on the rear spring mount IF you wanted to give them a try and see if you like the ride when the time comes.

I used general leaf springs in my fury. I'am very happy with them.

This is why I have to relocate the front spring perches on the rear frame I bought back in February this year.

I bought a Fury rear frame section to install into my 66 Polara.

I carefully cut out the perches and I am in the process of moving them 3 inches ahead in order to maintain the correct distance for the Polara springs.

I can only imagine that the shorter Fury spring would give me a firmer ride but I haven't got the funds to buy another pair of rear springs at this time.

Very informative guys. I'm not sure if I'm going to use them or not. I kinda like the ocean liner like ride of these c bodys . It's always an option tho. I love the info you guys share. I'm the only person I know with a c body around here. Most of my friends are gm one way or another and are very little help with a lot of things. Glad I found this place! Thanks again.

Bryan, I noticed the pic is cut off at the bottom. Does it go on to list the Formals?
