Well 18 years after I put floor pans in my brothers 74 Cuda, it desperately needed attention in the trans crossmember area. Passenger side was still solid but drivers side was near spinning out the torsion bar socket.
I was determined to remove the damned thing without taking out the floor pans or cutting them up to badly. As of tonight I completed the removal (3 evenings to accomplish) of the old one. Test fit on the new unit was very good. A little surface rust removal on the floor pans under the crossmember, some weld thru primer, and duplicolor spray on bedliner and it will be ready to weld in.
I don't have any pics thus far, as they wife left town and took the only camera with her. I plan to buy a new one tomorrow and snap some pics of the prep-work and installation to add to this post.
This will be the last one of these I try to remove without replacing the floor pans!!
