But, Menko, isn't the '62 Lancer a "B" body???

Don asked about a '65 "A" body, which would be the same as my '63 & '64 
Darts.  However, I have understood that the '62 Darts and Plymouth 
Belvedere and Fury were "B" bodies, with the "A" body Darts and Valiants 
starting in '63.  I may be misinformed, but at some point this becomes 
more than academic to me and I want to be sure and not buy tires and 
wheels I can't use!

Anyone have more input??? Sources and references appreciated!
Thanks!!!
