well i believe the mounting hardware is differant. like the bolts that hold it to the k member. I have a 79 and I was gonna put a newer rack on it, and i have a newer k member and rack, but i noticed the bushings and bolts are differant

Not too bad.

If you normally wear a skirt then it is hard to turn, otherwise you'll be OK

You can get a flaming river kit from laurel mountain for $300 with tie rod ends and the steering shaft with u-joints.
