So as I look at 5 lug parts... Would a '71 911T strut bold directly into my '74?
My ball joints are new, do I have to replace them with something different? What year do 911T move from "early" to "late" style struts? Any guess on Boge, Koni, or Bils based on this picture. obviously needs 100% rebuild Thanks Will Attached thumbnail(s)

Buy them for the cheapest price you can get. 911 control arms are good to have because of lots of bar options. Brakes are early "S". Hub studs will have to be replaced to use stock size wheels on narrow body. Steering rack and crossbar are same as 914. Struts are Boge but you never know what insert are in them until you take the top off. You can tell if they are early or late easily. If the base of the strut has a split opening at the bottom and a 13mm bolt it is early. Rotors are probably boat anchors. I would replace the wheel bearings and seals.
