    im pretty sure the 73 body is shorter then the 94, i know my 73 seems narrower and shorter feeling to me then my old 93...

    why dont you just put the stuff from the 94 into the 73?

    Actually vehicle identity is based off the frame. I believe its vehicle code 671

    im just trying to see how different the wheel bases are. i dont like how close the frame rails are under the hood of the 73. plus my 94 is already on the road so i would be able to drive it sooner
