you don't need to change the frame mounts to put the73-80 style front end on you just need to use the right body mounts for the year of the frame

I have put 81 up front ends on the 73-80 frames but never the opposite

the mounts on the frame sit different but the rubber body mount makes up the difference

you use the right rubber body mount for the frame and it should be a bolt on deal to put either style front clip on either style frame except the bumper

but I do have the frame brackets off a 73-80 style 2 wheel drive if you want them

I think I need the frame mounts. I know I need to use the correct rubbers, but what I think I'm running into is that the earlier core supports don't have enough room for adjustment to mount up to the later style frame mounts. So swapping from old to new must be fine, but swapping new to old causes alignment troubles.

wiper arms
wiper stubs and linkage
2 wheel drive core support mounts

I think that's all of it. I couldn't remember if the wiper stubs were removable from the linkage, so I guess it's all made together huh?

I'm in no rush, whenever you find a box the right size works for me.

Well I just thought of something else I've been looking for, have any Suburbans with tan seat belts? I need the center and right side belts for a front bench, but the right side is most important. If there's no more room in the box then don't worry about it.
