That's the style of squarebody I want,...
Like the job on the interior.
Frame and suspension is lookin' good.
You're gonna have to bring to one of our Legend's Meets.

Yeah, I got that one from my brother in-law, he's a creative mother. The seats a guy out in riverside hooked me up. Let me know if you need the info.

Good luck getting a set. I Just got a set yesterday, after trying to for 6 months. Seems as if nobody wants to remove them from the frame before they junk them. It's only 6 rivets per bracket but you would think you were asking them to give you one of there ribs.

shawno72 03-06-2012 10:31 AM

Re: Project 74, Shorty
 
Yeah that may be tough to find. Wrecking yard prob your best bet, just gotta figure a way to get them off. You could also post a want to buy ad, you'd be surprised how many people are willing to help on this forum, that's what I would do first.

Hey guys, here's an update, I have to credit John Oro with this one. I was telling him I was undecided where to put my switchers and gauges for the air ride, he said, well if your taking out the AC and Heater, place the components there. So here it is, tell me what you think.:metal:
