I can't remember if the 70 b & e body k-frames interchange. I know that the part numbers are different but that doesn't always mean they are different or interchange. Picked one up, 70 e-body, at the Fall Fling to have on reserve for down the road repairs. I know 71- is different because of the steering box mount angle. Would like one on hand to replace my 70 b-body when needed. Thoughts anyone?

Like Cab Barge posted it can be done but I think the steering gear box geometry is a couple of degrees different on the angles from an B Body to an E Body but it still works.

Like was said there's a slight steering box angle difference. 70-74 E-body is the same as 71-72 B-body.
70 B-body is truly a one year only K-member. It's got the 66-70 B-body steering box angle and the 70-72 short through the K-member sway bar cutouts. Those two features only intersect in on year: 1970 B-body.
