Im gonna eventually put a gerst under my 71. A crown vic front came with it, but turns out you have to run fugly wheels with one because of wheel track (think front wheel drive style wheel-eeew), so the crown vic front got traded off.By my figures, the gerst setup will be cheaper in the long run than even a frame swap, even if the donor was free.And you get great brakes and a rack and pinion. And it fits.
