Who sells front end rebuild kits for a 34 Plymouth?

Hi there!
The frontend bushings on my 34 Plymouth are quite worn so I´m looking for a source for a front end rebuild kit for early Plymouths. Anyone knows where to get it?
Thanks for your help!

PlyDo at 304 475 3245

http://www.robertsmotorparts.com/car_parts.asp has some stuff.

 

Thanks for your help!
Unfortunately Kanter only sells Plymouth suspension parts from 39 and up.

I´ve found a king pin set on http://www.oldmoparts.com/ , but they don´t have the lower and upper A-Arm bushings...
Any idea who has them?

 

do you really want to stick with the stock suspension? There are safer/easier parts availability on later model conversion.

I understand if you want to stay period correct though that's not really an option.

 

I think they have the lower kit here: http://www.vapinc.com/mopar/Suspension%20Parts/main.html#anchor13264

Mitchells ad sez he has ply a arm busings? : http://www.mmpar.com/mmpars/PlyHP.aspx?YEARID=1934&MODELID=0
His king pin kits are $49.95.

 

Andy Bernbaum has them. www.oldmoparts.com

 

Thanks a million guys, that´s everything I needed.

Frank, I hear you, but:yes I´d like to keep the stock frontend.
The spindles have been converted to disc brakes and I´ve been running the stock steering box until now, but the box ´ll need to be replaced or changed this winter.
The car didn´t feel unsafe in any way, and I often cruise at speeds between 100-120mph on the Autobahn. That´s all the old 283 can do.And I´ve put a few thousand miles on the car this summer.

I bet that gets some looks on the Autobahn! I didn't realize you were in Germany. My other love is European Capri's. I've got a 71 2000cc and a 72 2600 V6 that I drive daily.

 

"I often cruise at speeds between 100-120mph on the Autobahn. "

Holy poop! 34 Mopar, 283 motor, 120mph!...What trans and rear end ratio do you have. Give us a picture.

 

Baumi, do you have it torn apart yet? If it's just the kingpins and bushings you can subs***ute. I've made odd ball king pins from Thompson shafting available from McMaster- Carr and other places. It is hardened on the outside, soft in the center so you can drill grease holes if you need. I made a set out of drill rod, too, which is soft the whole way through.You can buy regular bushing stock and put holes or slots where you need to duplicate your old ones. If you don't have equipment a local machine shop should be able fix you up. If your spindles are worn you are SOL.

 

Here we go!





The engine is a Canadian 283 out of a 58 BelAir. It has a 327 cam and camel hump heads. Otherwise it´s stock. The ****** is a TH350 with stock converter. The rearend was pulled from a 66 Dodge Dart, but the huge rear wheels are responsible for a pretty long rear ratio.
Here´s a little movie I made while cruising some small German backroads a few weeks ago. In the first movie I forgot that it makes no sense hold the camera upright....hahaha, my fault.
I´m sorry I have no Autobahn movie.

Thanks for all the hints !
This afternoon I´ll be checking the local yunkjard for a steering gearbox that could replace the stock 34 one. The slop got worse during this summer...

 

Yes, I´ve already torn the frontend apart. Thanks for the kingpin idea, a friend is running a machine shop around here, I´ll ask him if he´d halp me with the kinpins. Thanks!

 

Baumi, wake up man, you got mail!!

 

Baumi, that 34 looks great! I have a 36 that I'm just starting on. I've been trying to decide what style to build it, now I know! Mine has the bustle for the trunk, but its similar. Really cool car. That Dart rearend looks like a good fit too. How did you lower the front and what diameter wheels are you using? Thanks for any info. Great car!

 

@Doug: Sorry dude, I missed the auction but I´m in contact with the seller. everything seems to be fine. Thanks a million!

Pakrat,Thanks for the compliments, the front tires are 5.60-15s Cokers. The front was lowered by cutting coils with 2,5" of suspension travel . I think the coils were 56 Chevy, they are stiff enough to keep the car from bottoming out.

Do you have some pics of your 36?
