wow, sounds like a damn cool project kevin.
so, the rear springs are interchangeable between the 73 2002 and
505's? i'm actually looking for some stiffer rear (and front) 505
springs for an upcoming project. sounds like it may be easier to look
for aftermarket 2002 springs then getting custom springs wound.
