73-74 I don't like the bushings between the frame as mentioned. Makes swapping parts between b bodies a pain in the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean].
No, nobody likes those bushings. However at least you can go either poly or aluminum bushings for the k-frame and the iso torsion bar x-member. And the iso t-bar x-member can be eliminated as well if you know how to weld and pick up a set of 72 and earlier torsion bars. In all honesty, the bushings in the k-frame are over exaggerated by the naysayers. Not that big of a deal. I don't like them but they don't kill the car either.

But who really cares about that these days? Unless you're only interested in doing a stock resto it doesn't really matter. Guys like me doing restomods are going to make their cars what they want. Mine has absoloutely no emissions equipment, not even a charcoal can.

Thanks Doug. I'm running re-arched stock rear leafs and 275/60/15 tires, planning to go wider in the rear but same diameter.
Really there are only two things that bother me about the 73-74's. One being nobody even repros rear 1/4 patch panels for them. The other being 71-72 fenders aren't a bolt-on. If the older nose would bolt on and if the body line wouldn't have changed for 73, I honestly would seriously consider swapping to the 71-72 nose. Not because I dislike the 73-74 nose, more because after daily driving the car for 7 years spring-fall I'm getting a bit bored with the way it looks. Got a RR hood going on this summer and maybe a color change just to freshen things up.
