Question for you folks. I have built several Cordobas, 5th aves, dippys. I know they can be extremely good cars. My question is,. I just picked up a 1977 Dodge crest wood wagon. First time I have ever come across one of theses. It's a full sized wagon. The front frame is just like a Cordoba or a pinch frame. I know how to build these fronts to be competitive,. My question is the rear. I have ran a hand full of fury/ subruban y frame wagon. And the rears are a bit tricky. I'm just curious if the rear ends on these Crestwoods Are they same as normal Mopar wagons or ? I figured I'd ask in this section considering I'm basically building another Cordoba.

Got access to a tractor or loader or steel deck trailer? Get rear wheels up off ground put a big block under each uni body rail on each sode by rear bumper shocks and push down near speaker deck and it will come back up then do a small notch on top.of rails thru trunk floor just past leaf hangers. Or put car on steel deck trailer run a chain across trunk lid tight to rear pillars then jack up each side at a time from back by bumper
