If you can get the fender tag and history of the NYer for historical records, that'd be great! There are differences between the Torsion Quiet-equipped and non-equipped cars, but I think that in 1970 all Dodges and Chryslers (save for the 'verts) had the improvement. Worth checking -- here's a...

Your Ford products are all body/frame vehicles. Ford paid extra attention to sound control from 1965 onward in their full-size cars. Harder to do on a UniBody Chrysler product without large amounts of under-carpet padding and such and the 1970 Torsion-Quiet Ride items. One main issue with the...

Well I did replace the front springs in my F-100 and found that the old springs were both the same size when, in reality, the springs are slightly different in height from the factory. As to the Ford vs Chrysler when trying to put it into words I would say the Ford drives as though it is a...

1970 was when the "Torsion Quiet Ride" happened. Other than that, different body platforms and re-designed stubframes resulted with greater isolation from the body structure and such. To me, the Fuselage is more of a "sub-frame", with stringers going along the rocker panels rather than ending...

A main difference in the Fuselage C-bodies and the Slab C-bodies is that the Fuselage cars from 1970-'73 had different body mounts under them, which were a part of the Torsion-Quiet Ride package. My '70 Monaco front frame looks more like my '77 Camaro, but better in the length of the side...

Good question. The frame that is in my car now is actually from a 1969 Dodge Polara. These are solid mount frames, no rubber isolators that are found on ‘70-‘73 hardtops. There is a great thread on here that dives into great detail about the differences between solid mount and torsion quiet...

Agree with Samplingman! I have 1971 Fury Coupe and 1970 Fury convertible. 1971 front subframe is completely different than 1970. 1971 has rubber bushings/isolators at all mounts. 1970 is non-isolated. Rear subframes are weld to body and may be the same.

Hi PT "TO SUM IT UP All 1969 C Bodies, with the exception of Fury hardtops and coupes are interchangeable. 1969 – 1970 C body Convertibles or Wagons can use the stub frame from any 1969 Chrysler, Dodge or Plymouth convertibles and wagons. 1970 – 1971 Chrysler and Dodge and 1971 Plymouth’s will...

Thanks 1970FURYCONV. I was interested in Mopar Papa's stub frame out of a 70 Fury but I guess it wont fit my 70 Polara Vert. Mine is definitely a rigid and the one he has is a torsion quiet.

If that’s all you have, spacers would work since the TQ height is shorter and the fenders won‘t line up without them, but I believe the width to be the same. The spacers would need to be solid, of course and not rubber. There are, however, structural differences to the rigid core support that...

Hi Willis, I have had 2 1970 Plymouth Fury cars, 27 body and 29 body. Neither had isolated spring perches. I believe Dodge and Chrysler converted to isolated spring perches and front subframes one year before Plymouth. Ben

The isolators were a part of the Torsion Quiet Ride package, from 1970 onward. So you have to go pre-1970 to get rid of the isolator and such. Maybe even pre-Fuselage as I'm not sure about the '69 cars and what they had under them. Now, there are some harder rubber spring isolators which are...

No Plymouths got torsion quiet in 1970. Never heard an explanation of exactly why not. May have been doing a little experiment to see if having an upscale feature on the Dodges that you couldn't get on a Plymouth would boost Dodge sales. Jeff

When, if ever, did the C bodies “get” the transverse torsion bars?

The "Torsion Quiet" Fuselage cars had more rubber isolation than the prior C-bodies did. Including, for the first time, at the rear axle-to-leaf spring interface. The later Formals had about the same number of mounts, but they were physically larger, usually. The 65-68 C-bodies also has...

Fast forward to 4:45 Torsion quiet ride was a huge advertising point across the mopar C-body lineup in '71 even though it was 1st used in 1970 on all civilian C-bodies besides convertibles off the top of my head. 1971 Fury Brochure My '71 PK41U does not have the iso-quite rear as expected...

I agree with all you said except that my personal experience in selling numerous cars overseas is that the Chrysler models are by far the most desired/easiest to sell and the 440s go at a premium. Dodges and Plymouths are desirable too, but not as much nor as easy to sell as a Chrysler. I also...

I agree with Fred that replacing the stub frame is the only reasonable way to proceed. A 1970 or 71 Chrysler stub frame would be interchangeable since Chrysler (and Dodge models too) all got torsion quiet ride starting in 1970. It isn't really all that bad to do the changeover.

The bushings started in 1970 with the torsion quiet isolators. There are many threads and comments regarding these, but to date most have simply made their own out of various materials, or sourced better ones from later models. Would love to hear if someone found a source for these after market.

You have some of my thoughts already, but I can say in general that all the Chrysler products got more insulation to improve sound levels in 1973, not just the Imperials. As such, I have 1971-2-3 Imperials and the 73s are the most quiet and comfortable riding cars you will find from those days...
