Welcome to the site!

The track width on the 73 frame is too wide for the 47-54 trucks. If you look closely at the front tires you'll see how the outer edges are past the fender edge, same for the rear. But......That may not be an issue for you!

If it were me I'd keep looking and find one a little better engineered. There are a bunch of these trucks all over the 'net, of course eBay is always a good source too.

Hey, there's no harm in buying a completed truck, just do your homework first. Probably not much different than preparing for a trial!

Good Luck and please keep us posted on what you decide to do!
