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

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?
