help needed

swapping out the mainshaft in the tranny is not a big deal. Fabbing up a new shifter mount and shift rods and perhaps moving the floor hole is. Having said that, I really like my moved-back shifter location, and would never go back.....to the front location.
In Canada the A-bodies went to the F-body front suspension in about 75/76. I have seen 75 Dusters with bent bars. I much prefer the earlier set-up, but I can see the later working for some.
