RE: sway bar

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most respects I guess.

The '62 to '65 B Body tie rods, control arms, shocks, spindle all 
interchange. The torsion bars do too, as long as you keep like to like 
(6 cyl S.W. to 6 cyl S.W. for example).

Power Steering gear: '62 - '64 is the same; '65 uses two different ones
Manual gear:  '62 - '63 is the same; '64 - '65 same
 
The K member is the same V8 to V8 and \6 to \6 '62-'65 I believe, though 
some '62s use a unique motor mount.

I remember reading a guy put lower control arms, strut rods and sway bar 
from a 1966 Charger into a 1962 Polara and they bolted right in. Only 
drilling mounting holes in the crossmember for the sway bar was 
necessary.  

Maybe there is something in the design of the aftermarket sway bar as to 
why won't it fit?  Nothing obvious without a picture. :)

Anyone?   

Thanks,
Gary H.
