Better shock choices for a 71-73 by changing the upper shock mount?
Front shock choices for a 71-73 are marginal. I can get street Bilsteins, adjustable Spax, or dump a pile of cash on VariShocks. The 68-70 croud gets to enjoy a pile of reasonably priced sport and race choices from Bilstein.
Could I run the much more common 68-70 shocks on the front with a 18A017 upper shock plate from a 68-70 instead of the rod style mount on my 71? Anybody do this? If the plate isn't a match I could always make one up as long as the shock length is the same.
Anybody have experience with this?
Thanks,
Peter
