Why would you get rid of the best looking front end ever, to change to the 2nd best looking one?

Are you changing out the crossmember, or just converting to 73+ components?

It's the same as your 69 as far as assembly and appearance goes. About the only major difference is one hole location on each side. I put a mid 70-s front in my 68 and I only had to drill that one hole on each side, and even that hole is not a necessity.
