Not too hard if you can use a grinder and can weld. Easy if the body is off the pan too. I have a rear cut from a superbug which
is a complete housing, torsion bars, spring plates, trailing arms, brakes, shockers with all the bolts too.
I'll PM my details so we can hat about it when you are in Adelaide.
Cheers Dave

Where do I get that bracket from? Do I need to cut it from an irs rear and weld it on mine?

buy an IRS floor pan and convert

you see the odd rusted out 76 for $1000

Even if you have to change the pans you will be ahead

Is it legal to weld in brackets?
