Which One???

IF you had a choice to build a great handling and great riding GL Super...... would you pick a 73 or a 74???

(I'm in California, and I don't want anything newer than a 74 for SMOG reasons)

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A 73 would also work with the 75 and up rack and pinion steering...just make sure that it is the latter 73 with the 2 bolt struts, not the earlier struts like on a 71 - 72 super.

How come you can use a 75? It is 2005 now, so it it would be 30 years old this year...

i was also wondering if the rack and pinion setup would work...can it be swapped into a 74.
does the rack and pinion offer any advantages to lowering/handling
i have not seen the suspension layout for it..can you go lower with the rnp?..considering the pitman arm on the 74!

I believe the 71 or 71 suspensions can go the lowest.... not sure about the difference between 73-74 and the 75's with R&P...
