1967 k member upgrades (idler)

That “71” KMember you have is a 72 crossover piece. I’ve seen them in 72 model year cars. You sure what year car it came out of?

It has the flat biscuit motor mounts they ran in Abodies until the end of the 1972 model year. BUT it has the lower section of the 73 kmember that has the pass thru sway bar.

With that Kmember you could use the 67-72 wide sway bar OR run the 73-76 sway bar. You have to run the corresponding 67-72 or 73-76 LCA w/sway bar tabs. Or fab mounts in corresponding locations.

The 73-76 member allows you to run high backspacing wide front rims. And it doesn’t hang in front of the Kmember and low that gets hit on curbs and low bumps.

Nice piece! The front lip is not bent and bottom not gouge and smashed up. That tow hook rip in it is no big deal.

Not a bad place to put a strengthening/skid/jack plate. Just don’t encroach any of the opening. You need all the opening to thread in the sway bar. Especially thick ones.
