if originality isn't an issue, get the cheaper Mopar perches. that way, no matter what springs may end up un the car in the future, the perches will work. and you can more easily get rid of those useless rubber isolator pads they put in there for some reason.

Nova- interesting- I have a dana 60 for my car and it has the original mopar perches- they are simply just flat. They are currently in the mopar location- I have not moved them yet.

Who would sell a perch like this?

You can get Mopar spring perches for about $13 from Summit:

Regardless of the perch type, weld a support plate from the front and rear edges of the perch to the housing as shown in this photo:

if you just can't wait a couple days for them to arrive from Summit or Jegs, they can be gotten from any Mopar dealer or your friendly neighborhood circle track supply store. i think mine were $15 4 years ago at a circle track chassis builder about 20 miles from me.
