i put together a set 1 7/8th inch inside the frame headers for a 34 chevy coupe and they look a lot like the ones you have pictured and as you say they seem to work ok but want win any points in a car show..I knew i would have to change the flange but i was trying find a set that would somewhat close and i tryed small block big block and a set of mopar 440 headers with no luck so i bought a set of weld up headers from jegs and spent a lot of time putting them together i don't want to do that again.

65's are my favorite as I have 3 , 2 ss hard tops and 1 convert followed by my 2 63 ss hard tops
Nope just stating 65' are my favorite
I ran into 2 concerns. Look at how much toe out I have. Yes it should get better with weight, but thats a lot! I put everything bakck the wayt it was / is on my other 65. Do you think it will fix its self?
Second I was indicating my lakewood bell and @#$&*@ every time i moved the pins the change was way off. checked at 12 3 6 9. 6 checks 6 different results.
Think i will check the consintricity of the hole. Any ideas how many thou out can I be?

Yea, Hudson always wants to go out but he never hangs around long, roamer.Nice job.I see you have a helper in the background.Mans best friend.
Think I got the bell lined up. I just hope the tires straighten up when it squats.
If you reinstalled tie rod lenghts back as they were will be ok. But it is hard to know where caster and camber setting where, and they play a big part in where toe ends up at . All camber ,caster angles have to be set before toe is set. You will have to adjust those angles once all weight is back on front. If not that way then just let alignment shop do it if you can't get it close to get it to them. Did you change any components like gear box,ect???Yea, Hudson always wants to go out but he never hangs around long, roamer.

1967 for sure, maybe 1966, too.
It was sometime in 65. I have been told by Muncie "experts" that it was Feb-Mar 65 but I'm finding cars that are supposedly original with passenger speedos built in Jan 65 and even Dec 64.
Dana 60 or 12 boltThose are literally the least of my worries. It has a bunch of work needed. 1000hp would snap the rear axle just putting it in gear to idle forward. LOL!
