Re: 71 sub? or 73

If front is disc brakes = 71
if drum = 69/70
I'm sure others can narrow down further....

Re: 71 sub? or 73

As long as it's not a 73.I think that's when the ball joints change?

Re: 71 sub? or 73

Disc brakes and greasable control arm bushings makes it 71-72 for sure. 73 and newer used rubber, non greasable bushings.
