CumbDunt - April 14th, 2003 at 12:42 PM

Hi all
Will 74' bus front & rear end plus 5 rib gearbox bolt into a 66 split?
Or is a it 68'-73' that bolts straight in?
Any advise relating most appreciated

Not sure about the rest, but I do know that a '74 front end won't fit without mods, but a '68 or '69 will. It raises it 3" at the front though, so drop spindles or adjusters will be required to bring it down again. The '74 disc brakes should fit onto the '68/'68 front beam though. :)

a bay front end will fit if you modify it ,custom bugs and buses do it in penrith on an exchange ,not cheap but a lot of work ,new discs, ball joints dropped spindles rebuilt calipers etc money well spent and you get a bay window ride
