Header fitment rant, Doug's

After reading this entire thread,I am glad that I will be putting the front suspension and crossmember from a 90's dakota under my 73 scamp.The rack and pinion steering is way out of the way and I ditch the torsion bars.Granted I will be using a set of 1.75 longtube headers off a ram pickup so that will probably have its own set of challenges but nothing like this. Anything more than minor dimpling and I would start cutting and welding tubes so they fit better.
