Chrysler's B platform was the basis for rear wheel drive cars from 1962 through 1979. All of the B-body cars, in a given model year, for either make, were built upon the same chassis. However, the outward design differed between makes.

The Plymouth B-body series ultimately comprised four cars with nearly identical outward appearances (differing only in trim package, drive train and accessories). These were the Belvedere, Satellite, GTX and Roadrunner. The Superbird was a Roadrunner with an extended nose and a high-mounted rear wing. It was the only Plymouth B-body that looked essentially different from the others.

There was more diversity in the outward appearance of the Dodge B-body series. The Dodge models based on the B-body were the Coronet, Superbee and Charger. The Charger Daytona was, similar to the Superbird, a Charger with an extended nose and high-mounted rear wing.

Cars using the B platform include:

Five different wheelbases were available:

  • 116 in
  • 115 in
    • 1971-1979 2-door models
  • 117 in
    • 1965-1970 Dodges
    • 1967-1974 Plymouth wagons
    • 1971-1974 Plymouth 4 doors
  • 117.5 in
    • 1975-1978 Plymouth and Dodge 4 doors and wagons
  • 118 in
