Anyone near Chicago...

    Anyone near Chicago have a full sized 71 -76 that they'd be willing to let me look at? I wanted to get a polyurethane front end kit, but I can only find one for the 71 and up Buicks. Actually, if anyone had a 70 full sized Chevy that'd work too, as they offer it for that, but say it won't work in my Buick. :Do No: I say, "wtf?!?" But whatever, I don't want to spend cash on something that I don't know if it'll work.

    Any help would be really appreciated. I guess pics with dimensions might work too, but whatever. :grin: Thanks in advance.

    Hate to tell you this, but the 71-up won't work on your car. Totally different front suspension designs....

    Not sure if the 70 Chevy kit would do either--I know through 70 at least some front suspension parts were division-specific.

    Well, that just sucks. I figured that the 70 Chevy might be the same, but wasn't sure. I know the 71-76 were different, but I was hoping the bushings might interchange, that's all. I'd really like to have a polyurethane front end, as opposed to rubber, so I'd like to make this work somehow.

    Have you checked P-S-T, yet?

    I've checked pretty much all the major performance suspension places, and none carry anything for the 69-70 full sized cars. Which is why I was interested in seeing other suspension setups to see if I could adapt stuff from theirs.
