That's a shame. The one can change front shocks on a 74-78 in about 30 minutes. It is very easy! It's too bad they hadn't designed the earlier cars with the extra space in there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerry Pinkerton" <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 23, 2003 5:08 AM Subject: Re: IML: Changing shocks on a '69 I dont think the 70-73 is as difficult. At least all I had to do with the 73 was make sure the shock was compressed and tied off. I used bailing twine which was easy to cut and pull out. Rogers 69 has Budd Brakes and perhaps a slightly different design than the 'standard' brakes system for late 69-73.
