missing parts for a 68 barracuda
3 years ago i started working on a 68 cuda and i had to stop cause of medical reasons. but now im getting back into the groove. but in those years i guess some parts just went missing. and im worried. i was wondering if ther was anyone out ther that had some extras they could sell or maybe GIVE. im cool to pay for the parts. cause i really want this car running when im able to drive again. you see im still not fully out of this medical problem. but i am able to work on the car. i have two 318's a 727. with tti headers edlbrock intake and carb. pst steering components and sway bar. other goodies too. but the parts im missing ar one steering knucke/spindle. and i dont know what side cause i have no refrence to compare to. so if you have both, than you have a pot of gold for me. im also missing a manual steering box. and if no one has one i dont mind buying one from flaming river but i thought a used one would be cheaper. cause i did buy one off ebay but thats one of the missing parts . and the whole steering bar in general. you know the thing that connects from the box to the wheels and goes across the front. this is my first mopar build and its taking to much time cause of my medical problems. if it wasnt for that id be on the roads. please help. from one mopar owner to another.

post a picture of the current spindle you have. so you need a manual steering box...it would be WAY cheaper to buy a used one from somebody on this site..the flaming river box is 500 bucks, from summit.
so your missing the pitman arm (bolts to the steering box), idler arm (mounts to the K-frame), center link, and tie rods (mounts to the spindles, centerlink)??
you could buy all of that, including the steering box, for under $500 and be good to go...post a wanted add in the appropriate section.

yea thanks for the reply dude. its the bar thats connected from the pitman arm to the large bar. maybe the idle arm. or center link. i might be missing the tie rods too. i forgot thers a wanted section here. and im going to go look at a chiltons book for the right steering bar im missing. i checked out pst and they sell a 2 inch drop spindle set for 500. i might just get that since i was going to convert to disc any ways. ill call them up. thanks again man. so i just checked the hayens book and im missing the center link. ill go to the wanted section than for this stuff and hope for the beast of the best.

With the two inch drop spindle set that is all you will get. You will still need all the other parts. On this site pictures tell a 1000 words so if you post a picture of the spindle you have and what brake drum size you have then someone can likely hook you up. 9 inch brakes, 10 inch brakes and disc brakes all take different spindles on a 1968 Barracuda.
