Some interesting posts and info on 73′ upgrades/replacements

Moving closer to welding day. I read my own thread again to make sure someone has not already suggested the diameter of the holes for plug welding. I can’t find this information. Should I drill/punch the pan with 1/4″, 5/16″ or 3/8″ holes for plug welding?
On the floor structural parts frame etc 5/16″
or use http://www.harborfreight.com/air-punch-flange-tool-1110.html
Sheet metal (door skins, quarter panel rain gutter, etc )1/4″ is fine

If you get down to lower convertible pans (the ones that the torque plate bolts to) mine were ate up. I got 1965-70 pans and modified them to our specs. Mostly for the emergency brake cable routing purposes. Took about an hour to modify both. Came out great.

ooking good ! You know you can buy the upper outer part of the rear torque box..Listed as 65-70 Plate rear upper torque box..It’s what I used on the passenger side..wish I would have known before I made the drivers side. Almost perfect fit very little modification needed.
