I've got them mounted on the front of my 79. I haven't had time to mount the rear ones yet

Looks good Ozzie. How did they go on? Any modifications?

I had to enlarge the hole a little for the bumper bolt to fit through. Other than that it worked great.
I have the rear ones, I have to raise the fuel tank to get the right rear shock out.

Cool. Thanks. (Dave or Ozzie?)
And I'm assuming you had to remove the wheel well linings to access, correct?

It's been awhile, But i do remember I did have to remove the liners to get to the bolts.

I picked up a couple sets also and dry fitting them to the 72 will require shortening them by about half in order to get them to sit right on the car along with drilling new holes.
Now I just need to figure out how far I want them to sit out from the body...I'm a big fan of tucking them in close, but I will have to see.
Ozzie - your pictures are not showing up, could you email the front and rear pic's if you have them all mounted up?
Thanks
