Nope, Harm's had ones for 3rd gens. I think Auto Rust has them not but can't remember. I think they are only for the rear though.

Auto Rust Technicians show both fronts and rears for the 71-72 cars. www.autorust.com/k_24252.htmlDave at ART generously allowed me to use many of the photos on their site for the Cordoba Club newsletter that I referenced above. Now the question is, which rear boxes do they offer? The picture I posted above is for the front hanger pocket of the rear leaf spring. As Bobby has pointed out, there is an additional rear reinforcement for the rear of the leaf as well. These I have never seen, and I'm not aware of them being reproduced. It's also worth noting the text in the ART catalog. "These are not factory-stamped pieces for show car restorations, they are for performance enhancement." So if you are looking for a factory appearing part, then these are not for you. The parts Harms used to sell were meant to duplicate the factory appearance, but as I understand it from reading posts on Moparts, Harms and his supplier have parted company, so he no longer has these (or at least is limited to stock on hand). I've not read of him getting a new supplier. Anyone heard anything different? When it comes time to build the Charger, I'll use original appearing parts if I can (ie: if they are available, and I don't have to pay a concours price Vs. the ART pieces), but either way it will get these additional reinforcements. Heck, I'm going to have to make my own for the Cordoba, so these shouldn't be that different.

Greengo posted an excellent pic of the rear box on the Real Torque Box thread going on in the Chassis section...even I learned something from that thread, and I didn't even know what a torque box was when this all started.
