Im picking up a 75 caddy coupe devile here in a few weeks and am looking for some tips on it... i read through the 73-74 caddy tips section and got a few ideas on the front bumper mounting and the radius rods, but am not really sure how much of a difference there is between a 74 and 75 caddy. Im looking for a few tips on the front end specific to the 75-76 caddys. Do the 75-76 caddys also dump and the steering box/firewall?

The 75 76's are different in between the a arms and trans mount. They don't have the extra brace, but they have an extra layer of steel on the frame. Both the ones I ran the frames pinched in behind the a arms and the fronts rolled up right behind the bumper brackets.

ok thanks for the reply, would you recommend reworking the stock brackets on the front,hard nosing or using the rear bumper brackets on the front?

I would weld the bumper to the end of the frame and use some long brackets that wrap around the s curve.
