Idler arm upgrade question

I am gathering parts for upgrading to 67 72 chassis to the 73 87 setup

I have read some mixed threads that the idler arm may need to be relocated to use the 73 up steering lynkage

Re: Idler arm upgrade question

You do need to drill two new holes for the 73 and up idler arm. There are several threads in the 60 to 66 section on this and may be some in this section. I did it on my 66.
