Re: [AMC-List] 69 Vs 70 suspension

" Well it's a bit more complicated than just the shock towers.  Up through 69 
" AMC used trunions in place of upper ball joints so not only do you not have 
" an upper ball joint in your car, you also do not have the associated sub 
" frame and mounting points for the upper ball joint assembly and associated 
" sub frame pieces on your 69 AMX.

but all that stuff is on the same inner fender panel with the shock
tower.  i assumed that when he wrote 'shock tower', he meant the whole
panel.

i have heard of '69 amxes converted to '70-style front ends, so the
panel as a whole seems to be a straight fit.  i would like to know if
the '68-9 amx panel is the same as the '64-9 american, which it shares
suspension with.  careful eyeballing says yes.  anyone have a body-
panel parts book?

yes, popping or drilling all the welds to remove the inner fender
panels would be a job, but it can and has been done.
