I was just thinking it's unusual to see a trashed front bumper unless it's bent up bad. The rear is the one that usually rusts thru.
59-64 394 4-barrel intakes are the same. They use a Rochester 4GC carb that can be a mixed blessing. I think an Edelbrock or AFB will bolt up to the factory manifold, you just have to make sure the transmission's throttle valve rod is set properly for the change in linkage. Otherwise you will have a very unhappy HydraMatic that will take its revenge, and there is no modern transmission that will bolt to the 64 engine block without modifications to the case.
I'll have to do some digging on the window track. I think all the 1963-4 GM B-body 2-door hardtops use the same part except the Grand Prix, Starfire and Jetstar I. And it seems I remember the Chevy crowd has reproduced them for Impalas which should fit your Dynamic. Difference may be the Chevy piece is raw metal where the Olds was chrome plated, but if it fits and works, the thing is hidden by the window belt seal.
I'm not aware of any off-the-shelf air suspension kits for the Olds, but I've seen them with bags so someone has figured out how to do it. Impala frames are very different and Chevy bags may or may not work.

It's the same bracket design as the back, but I guess that in normal use, more crud gets kicked up towards the rear than the front. Unfortunately, my car sat for years and collected leaves, debris, etc in the front bumper pockets as well.
The fronts are the same on any 64 Olds full size (and only 1964). The backs are the same on any 1964 Eighty Eight model. 1964 Ninety Eight rears are different.

Glenn, I'd be happy to show you the rust holes on the front bumper of my 64 J88.

Well the story goes I bought the car with a bad master cyl and less than 5 miles from where I bought it, my buddy decided that he wanted to drive the car ( my mistake on that ) On that note im sure you see how this story ends.
Thanks for the info guys guess Ill be looking for 64 then .
