found a 164 in a salvage yard! 140-160 1970/74



I finally found a 164 in a junk yard. Sheesh.

For months I'd find 2 or 3 a trip, then after I

get my 164 I don't see a single one for months.

Argh.

Anyhow, this one is a smaller grill 74 and my

164, a 70, has the larger grill. Do the fenders

swap between them? My 164 has a very slightly

crunched right fender and a rotten paint job; it

seems like it would be cheaper to replace the

fender then repaint the car if I'm going to

repaint it anyhow (instead of having some

monkey with a hammer take the crunch out of it).

Also fenders are often pretty cheap.

Also, on a similar note, I would like to take

off the front suspension and rebuild / repaint

that and put that on my 164. Would I be able

to take off the front A-frames without a spring

compressor if the car is already off the ground?

Does the front suspension of a 70 interchange

with a 74?

Lastly, any hints on taking off the rear axle?

The junk 164 is an auto and so it has a better

rear ratio than the one on my 164.

Thanks!

chris
