Are the amd firewalls for a ebody close to the same on a 71-b-body ?
Wanting to delete the ac and change to a standard heater only firewall.
Are the top cowl the same?

A/C firewalls are the same. Non a/c walls are different.
Cowl top plates are different.

IIRC Goodmark has a non AC 71 B body lower firewall...

Sherman carries an AC 71 B body firewall, not sure if they have a non AC...check them out, why bother with the E body wall?

If you use an E body heater box. Heater core nipples are in different locations.

Was looking on AMD’s website and they listed nothing for the 71 bbody firewall, I’ll check Sherman out, really only need the right side
Thanks

No one makes the 71-4 B body firewalls.
They market E body a/c walls and they are the same as 71-3 B body but they haven't done the research to know this. I have. 74 B is different.
For a 71-3 B non a/c wall, used is the only option.

Thank you, looking for a heater box too of course but mainly wanting to get the sheet metal work done on the car.

Pretty sure the shape of the mounting plate on the column is different - 73 same plate as 71-72 but uses the thick biscuit, 74 uses a different plate and a thin biscuit. Is 74 b-body the same all the way to 79?
