The front end on my 73 is pretty mangled. I found a complete front end off of a '81. I know it will physically bolt onto the 73, but I have run into a few snags. simple stuff like the windsheild wipers since the '81 front end has a seperate cowl. Do I need to swap in the '81 wiper arms? Or do I need to change the whole wiper set-up? I need to pull the dash anyhow, so if I neded to change the wiper set-up so be it.
 
Yeah, you have to remove the cowl and swap out the wiper pivots and links to the 81' style.
 
Good deal. Found the linkage, but I can't find the pivot points. Any ideas on where to look? The local junkyards aroung here are picked clean of chevy parts around here.
 
Well, pony up for the $25 membership fee and then you can cruise the classifieds here. You can also post in the parts wanted section. It'll be money well spent, you won't regret it. :waytogo:
