    Just joined the site a short time ago, although I've had my mav for about 2 years now. 74 250, c-4 w/ac. Have only driven it a few times and then started planing what to do and how to do it. It is pretty well torn apart now and about to go on the rotisorie. Have a 76 MII susp. to put in. Am thinking a big inch Windsor with 8.8 Mustang rear and susp. Has anyone done the susp. swap? and/or is it possible. Also wondering about the 73 front bumper vs 74. Is it a little smaller than the monstrocity on there now? I'll have lots more questions but I guess I should keep the intro short and use the other catagories.(y)

    MII suspension is pretty common. do a search up above. if your going to the trouble of changing the bumpers why not just do the small bumper switch. try that in the search category also. welcome to the board. :Welcome:

    73 bumper

    Thanks for the welcome and suggestion, but I think I really prefer the larger bumper-just not as large as the 74.:drive: I have found some info in some of the archives on here about the MII swap. Might not be as easy as I thought, but then again I love a challenge when it comes to cars.:dance:
