Tach a matic time traveler

[Redav72 227]

Question.

 

Can the deck and attach a matic from an 1985 310-8 be installed on a 1970 Charger?

Yes usually. The belly hitch at least. Bolts right up. 

 

Where you may have issue will be the front hitch where the mule drive goes. You may have to weld tabs on the sides of a front hitch so it will bolt on. The 300/400/500 series use the front hitch as an integrated axle pivot, so it won't just bolt onto the Charger. 

 

Dunno who's pic this is, but it's how you'll have to do it.

Short answer...YES.  You don't really need the 'bolt-on' adapter plates shown above.  All you gotta do is drill 3 holes in the Hood Hinge PLATE as described in this UPGRADE.pdf file, then mount the Front Tach-O-Matic hitch and Front Mule Drive for it.

I put a front hitch on my 1971 Raider, I sawed off the hood hinge.. I isn't easy drilling those holes in the Raider front axle pivot but it can be done. I used a 5/8" spacer nd bolted it up, Then I had to bolt back on part of the hood hingeTo get the hood back on.
