That is a 73 to 87 front end. I don't what year GM went to metric fitting but I think it was in 78. So 78 and up would be metric. Check and see if you have the 1" wide brake rotors or the 1 1/4" wide brake rotors. 73 is when they started using rubber control arm bushings. Just curious on how he mounted the steering box. Maybe you could get some closeups of that. Just make sure it is safe.
