[VB] [T2] Bay front end in a split

[c.dreike at verizon.net]

Thanks Al,Yesterday I saw a 64 and the owner said his front end was from a 68. Sure enough it has ball joints.I believe the ride might be softer as with my 71 bay, not sure on that however. Anyone know?

I think a 1968-69 beam will fit. 70-79 have a bigger bolt pattern and will take some fabrication to fit. The thing is, the ball joints are all the same, thus any year uprights will fit the 69 beam. This means 71-71 and 73-79 which both take disc brakes but the 73-79 are bigger, or better, I think.

Hi Volks,
Anyone remember the details on whether an early bay front end will fit into
a 64-67 splitty? Which years fit?
I know this was discussed about 15-16 years ago. Karl (RIP) had the details
at the time.
