A 62 is not a Y framer... Correct me if I'm wrong here... yes and no.... the 65-73 are the ones commonly referred to as "Y framers" but in truth the build tips discussed in this thread apply to other cars as well. This is from the first page: WILL ALSO EDIT THIS TO PUT EVERY TYPE OF Y FRAMER SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE...SO HELP ME OUT ON ALL THE Y FRAMERS... whew, ok, I'll take a shot at it..... SEDANS 65-73 Chrysler Newport, New Yorker 65-71 Chrysler 300 65-73 Plymouth VIP, Fury and all trim level variants- Fury I, II, III, Gran Sedan, Sport Fury, etc. 65-73 Dodge Polara and Monaco WAGONS 65 Chrysler New Yorker wagon 66-73 Chrysler Town & Country 65-73 Plymouth Fury wagon 65-73 Dodge Polara and Monaco wagon All of the above should be included in this tips thread. Also, all 1964 & older full size cars with removable front subframe should also be included, such as early 60's Chrysler Newport, NYer, & 300 or Dodge 880

Building first y framer this year, have read this thread over a couple times and it is has given me some good ideas. I am not real sure what you are talking about when you say push the shock in to the y a weld solid. Rules will not let me box y in, or weld the bracket backwards against frame. Other than that it is all fair game. Any help would be much appreciated.

If every thing would have been shoved back a little farther to the back of the Y and the Bumper was more Hard nosed... would have been better but I think most people would have done that in this situation good pic anyway ;D

It is a Y framer but not straight they have a belly and harder bend with both sides of the y biggest advice I can give is to remember it a Y and not called a U framer keep this in mind while you build it the box needs to be tied back into the straight part of the Y
