79 to 74 susp/steering swap Qs?

[guitarguy]

Would the entire K frame & steering box including brakes etc., wheel to wheel, from a 79 300 (you know, the Cordoba with all the cop goodies) bolt right in to a 74 Roadrunner? What about other stuff - 9 1/4rearend & springs?

The 79 is a driver; the 74 (was 318, 8 1/4)has been sitting for decades, missing front brakes, no drivetrain. Just curious about the 79-74 interchange before I consider it.

I know the Bs changed a lot in 73; anything chassis-wise between 74 and 79 I should know? Thanks! ~Scott in TX

i know the b bodies from 73-78 will all interchange, but not sure on the 79. if the 79 is the same as a 78, then ur good to hook. may want to ask this question here:

I'm afraid they may kill me for the thought... and believe me I am wrestling with the morality of it as the 300 is a great driver and in reality the rarer of the 2... but I'm a "use what you got" kinda guy. And my green bench 3-on-the-floor no options 'Runner is my dream car. And I'm 43 and second half rules dictate you don't give as much of a f#$%.

i understand man, i do. If the 300 is that rare, then I would just keep it OE.

BUT.. if you just want to get it going now.. use the stuff off the 300, then piece by piece, purchase permanent replacement parts for the RR, then swap all those pieces for the 300's original pieces and put the 300 stuff back on the 300. no harm no foul
