As Matt said.

Just to Bananarama! out a bit, so you know where you are at if someone approaches you at shows and starts talking letters, have a read through this link and it should demystify the whole thing a bit.

A body

with a wider body than a US A body

and rear springs and rear chassis rails in the position used by a US 'B' body

i.e

A 'B' body US axle (from a charger or satellite) will mount to the springs on your Aussie A Body. which is the only weird thing

its a Mid 60s A body floor plan and A body chassis and RHD A body bulkhead and front suspension with a wider Aussie derived Body plonked on top. if buying mechanical parts think of it as a 68 barracuda with a 904 or 727 trans and 360 motor your axle is however an Aussie M78 7.8 inch BorgWarner with 4 pinion LSD centre and I think 7.22:1 ratio gears i.e the wrong side of the ratio split for any shorter gearing. you'd need a different LSD centre to go to 3.23:1. easy to find in OZ.
