1967 Dodge R/T

[Suregrip391]

All the DANA 60 cars that I have seen had a 68 under the ax and they were factory 3.54 and factory 4.10 geared. I never heard of that first digit being the ratio qualifier….are you sure about that? Not disputing, genuinely asking…. Thanks

They would have A68 for the code, 3.54 ratio in a Dana. If 8 3/4 car (Automatic) the ratio would be 3.55.

“AX” is for rear axle ratio. We will deal with the “A” first.....
A1 = 2.76 to 1 ratio
A2 = 2.94 to 1 ratio
A4 = 3.23 to 1 ratio
A6 = 3.54 to 1 ratio (dana rear end only)
A6 = 3.55 to 1 ratio
A7 = 3.91 to 1 ratio
A9 = special order ratio
X8 = sure-grip rear axle (if no code under the “X”, then it’s an open style rear end, or non-sure grip)

Should this car have the torque boxes where the leaf springs mount?

Definitely!

No, the 440-powered cars had none of the body stiffening structure that the Hemi cars had. I am talking hardtops here; the convertibles had much the same structure to stiffen the unitbody. Hemi hardtop cars were structurally pretty well a convertible with a solid roof on it.

Its possible, But VERY unlikely. But I have heard of some 68-70 non hemi cars with them in the past

My 67 4spd R/T Dana 3:54 originally had the 440 motor and has also no Torque boxes also.

 

[R413]

67-70 440 4bbl hardtop B-bodies do not get torque boxes.

Yes the AX code 68 means :
6 3.5 ratio
8 sure grip

so you have to engage brain and figure out that a 440 4speed car has a Dana.

a 1968 383 4 speed road runner can have the same AX code 68, but a 383 car can’t have a Dana 60 so you know it’s an 8 3/4

Thanks for the correction. What about Hemi’s only getting the the Bendix booster in 1967 disc brake cars?

440 engine cars got a Bendix dual diaphragm boosters as well, but it was different than the Hemi booster. The Hemi booster had 3/8" bolts, rather than 5 /16" ones, in a different pattern to attach to the bracket. From the front, they look about the same. The one that is being reproduced is the 440 version.

Thanks. Our 440 4 speed, factory ordered has the Bendix Hemi booster. That’s why I was asking. Also have a 67 L that was in a fire, also has the Hemi booster. 3/8 bolts and correct spacing. Interesting.

In 1968 R/T's, the disc brake 440 cars had a Bendix booster mounted directly to the firewall. Only the Hemi cars retained the raised bracket. My own '67 R/T was a non-power 11' drum brake car when I bought it. I converted it to 4 piston disc brakes from a '69 Charger. I bought a NOS Bendix booster with 5/16" bolts at Mopar Nat's one year, and installed it directly to the firewall, 1968 style. I am thinking the 1967 440 booster must be the same as the Hemi one to bolt to the special bracket. It would not make sense to have a second raised bracket for a different bolt pattern. I never gave this much consideration before.

Yes it is the same as the Hemi.
