Want to do this as easy as possible. I put a 71 Super body on my 74 pan. Everything on the 74 pan is new. Spring, strut cartridge, bushings, etc from Topline along with a disc brake kit. Can I simply enlarge the hole on the body so the strut mount will fit and call it a day? If not, can I simply swap strut mounts?
I'm running stock wheels and tires, if that matters. The Sports+ springs lower the front an inch or so, I think.
Thanks! |

Just run the early upper bearing assemblies, I did the same thing with mine.
A lot easier than opening up the holes and also if you use the early upper spring hats it will lower it about 1" too.
