Anybody got an old extra 83 or 84 body setting around the back yard they would like to get rid of for a meager fee.
I'm looking for one that looks the same on both sides. so if you do, you can contact me at 602-550-9038.

Larry do you need a tub or just parts of a tub?

A whole tub Joe. Mine is pretty abused.

Re:Need an 83 or 84 body. 15 years, 9 months ago #3989

On thing to consider is it may be worth while to straighten the tub depending on the issues. Swapping parts over takes lots of time. i think you have a bolt in cage, but for guys with a weld in $1000-1500 at a frame shop is cheaper than a new tub since you don't need to 1) buy the tub and 2) put in a new cage.

For a bolt in it comes down to the labor to swap parts and aquire what you need.

What happened? Are you ok? I assume there was contact someplace. What part of the car?


I have an 83 tub, but it would need some time on a frame machine. Kent buckly may have a spare tub. BTW... any year tub will work if you are doing a tub swap. 83-85 all have the same parts. 85.5-88 have some different parts, but depending on what you can salvage it may be ok and work out.

I pancaked the wall coming out of oval turn 4. The whole right side is pushed in and the floor is buckled at the a piller. The frame might be ok, I havn't measured it yet. I was thinking that the impact probably stressed the whole tub pretty bad.

Ok I think the floor bucking is the major issue. The body work can be fixed.
