Re: Just A few plans for my 72' swb 4x4

Well, I got a few more minutes today and jumped over to the bay my pickup is in.. After studying a while on it, I'm gonna go ahead with my original plan. I'm using the 73-87 mounts and engine crossmember. I don't want to beat any on the firewall and I already saved these from a truck I junked out anyway... If I use the 72 stuff , the engine crossmember will be directly over the diff without much clearance when I move it forward 2 inches. The newer member will be in front of the diff and work out better I think. Also it's getting the 4 spd after all .... the 3 speed linkages will be right in the way of the exhaust and I just like the 465 better. Pics to come soon of measurements and layout..
