What are if any differences in the 69/70 cars to the 71/77 cars in the fron end susp? reason i ask is alot of aftermarket stuff says it will fit 71+ but i see no litsings for 69/70

    69/70 mavs were on the falcon platform...This is why the listings dont show parts for those years. There is no difference other than the rear shock mounts (Not staggard) and the small trans tunnel.

    i was wondering that about the falcons platform change also since i got a 64 falcon and my uncle has a 66 falcon ranchero and they are both different up front i was gona look into seeing if the 66 was similar to the mav.

    You will be doing so much wedling and cutting, it really doesn't matter, but yes....the kit will fit.

    I never saw any differences between the front frame area in my 69.5 from other years - I know some of the very early built 69.5's used Falcon suspension parts though :huh:

    why not order a...Maverick rack-n-pinion setup from...Rod and Custom...RC-107
    there would be a lot of mods to a Mustang II kit to make it work.
