    Got a pair of LDO buckets today from a local yard for $50. They are off of a 75 door with the cat. We want to put them in our '73 which does not have the cat. Will the bracket work?

    You are gonna have to do some fabrication to get them to work ... they will not just bolt in ... So far nobody has posted pictures or a tech article on how to do it ... not sure if it's ever been done ...

    I have posted numerous times on how to put non cat tracks in a cat car. To go the other way would be the same thing only you will add metal to the inside right track instead of cutting it out. I'll see if I can find it.

    OK to put cat tracks in a non cat car, you would just measure down to see how much metal to add to that inside track.
