Should be good to go with the 73/85 swap.

I agree with the above. Maybe get some new bearings while you're in there and the others are unknown.

New strut inserts? Through body bar and weld some u-tabs on your a-arms? DWD sets in and you strip the tub throw the entire car into 13 boxes and set her on jackstands for the next decade??

Pick up a couple of bail joint pins I destroyed the threads on my orginal pins when I did my struts.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Mine started with an oil leak. Ended up with a new motor and complete rustoration, then traded everything for a /6 conversion...

Good luck...

Only 13? I've got at least that many plus most of a backyard shed! I hope to beat the decade though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
