I want a set for my car.  If they are the same for the barracuda I want them from you. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Not sure of what is said there.  But I guess I will pass for now if we find out something good  then I will let you know or you can let me know.  Thanks for the link.

Gordon,

I have an idea, You buy them and if they aren't for Cuda, I'll buy them from you.  I can use the on my 70 Challenger R/T.

I have a set but am NOT happy with the fit? I bought them second hand. Seller did warn me that they do not fit very well. LOL  Reading this makes me wonder if the ones I have are for a Cuda? ( I have a challenger) It would be nice to see them both side by side to know the difference?

After reading other posts about these ,some say that the XV ones fit like crap but the US CAR TOOL ones are OK? I would have thought XV just gets them from Us Car Tool ? :dunno: I don't know who made mine? Just thought I'd mention that?

From what I have read here all the weld in frame connectors need lots of grinding to make them fit.

Being as the Challenger has a 2 inch longer wheelbase than the Barracuda, I would be inclined to believe that they are different. :dunno:

Yours are from US car Tool and they were for a Challenger E-body, bought right from the company owner at Carlisle.
