will this fit?the 73 has disc brakes.would this have the larger bolt pattern?
Physically it should. Yes, 73-76 discs were all large bolt pattern, 5x4.5. If you swap the k, I recommend swapping the entire thing including the steering linkage, much is the same as the 68, but there are a couple pieces that aren't and will be required to use the 73. Like the idler arm. Just easier to grab the whole thing. You'll also want the upper control arms off the donor as well as the spindles. If that 73 has a sway bar, get it and the lower control arms as well as all hardware.will this fit?the 73 has disc brakes.would this have the larger bolt pattern?
This is the correct way to get this done. Dukeboy318 is giving you the right infoPhysically it should. Yes, 73-76 discs were all large bolt pattern, 5x4.5.

And as I said above, yes, IF you swap the entire thing. There are a few pieces that are not interchangeable, for example, you cannot use the 68 upper control arms on a 73-76 spindle. You also can't without modification, run a 73 swap bar on a 68 K. So you can't mix and match, it's one or the other, but the entire thing is interchangeableMy 73 duster has a 68 barracuda K frame. I would think any a-body K member from 67 to 76 would be interchangeable? And that is question? For the masses...
Formula S cars get high respect from me, I just like the later setup because it looks more thought out. No insultsI like my lo-hanging junk
Me too....Can't argue with opinion!
I like the tuff-guy look, with stuff hanging down, fat tires sticking out, a bit too high a ride height, air filter sticking out of the hood, etc. But it's got to have aluminum slot-mags; 15 rears/14 fronts.....IMO, lol
U will need the strut rods for the K member u r using. 67-72 r fine thread and take a 1 piece bushing. 73 up use a multi piece bushing and r course thread. Kim
