looking for rear shock plates

[rtgreen]

looking for rear shock plates for a 70 barracuda. are they all the same for e bodies?

[anlauto]

Yes and no.
1970 E Bodies use a unique one year only part that has the shock mounted a little lower on the plate. With 1971-74 they raised the shock mount up about 1" and used the same shock plate as other models suck as B Bodies.

There is one exception however. ALL 1970 AAR Cudas and T/A Challengers used the B Body shock mounting plate which appears the same as 1971-74 E Body plates. I'm not sure of the part numbers for each plate, maybe someone else can chime in....

[anlauto]

Obviously Any 1970-74 E Body and even B Body shock plates will work .

NOTE:
8 3/4" rears and Dana 60 rears use the same one HOWEVER 7 14" rears have a smaller hole spacing and will not work.

I have a nice clean set off a 72 Challenger that will fit that I don't need. Like $80 Shipped.

thanks for the info. what I have on the back now are the rear halves of a set of annison ground grabbers. I thought about making the front halfs from pictures [looks easy] but I don't plan on racing it. so I thought maybe stock ones would be in order.

For identification purposes you can tell the differences by looking at the face plate design and numbers cast into them.
1970 E ( except AAR-TA ) carry cast/part number 3400836-7 used with both 8 3/4 and 9 3/4 rear and they drop down more where shock mounting stud is.
Later car years 8 3/4 and 9 3/4 cast/part number is 1856346-7 and stud mount is higher.
Top picture 1970 style as Alan has shown
Bottom picture,  shorter more common one 71-74 E ( and TA_AAR )and B-body
