I understand they were factory available starting '71.
Is there a simple component swap from later years using salvage yard parts?

Also will upgrade to 71-72 master & proportioning valve. Use front hoses from Early Classic Ent. or run new lines for front.

Some steering pieces (drag link and idler arm) are a little different as well.
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
