the box will go in OK but it is the axles that are the problem
You will need to weld on some IRS brackets

What are you doing for brakes up front?

By the time you muck round it would be a LOT easier to put it on a converted semi auoto apn or a 76 pan

Would be a LOT easier to go a new pan

?

76 is torsion bar
Just comes with ball joint front end, discs up front, dual braking circuit, IRS etc etc
