    Trunk lid torsion bars?

    Are trunk lid torsion bars the same on a cuda and a challenger? Will all years cross?

    Don't have the Cuda handy, but the brackets for the bars in a Challenger are 44 1/4" apart , so if the brackets in your Cuda are anywhere around that, they'll fit.

    I think the Cuda is a bit shorter. Some Challengers (not sure about Cudas) came with 2 bars and some came with only one bar. The single bar set up was a larger diameter.

    70's that I've seen before had 2 torsion bars.

    Then in 71' they started switching to a one long trunk torsion bar.

    However! I once had a picture of a 71' Cuda vert that had 2 torsion bars.

    Did they use 2 torsion bars when either a Go wing or Luggage rack was optioned on the buildsheet ?
