I have a 65 and want to do the 5 lug conversion. I found a 67 donor car. Now if I take the complete front end off the 67 car, will this fit on the 65? Is the drag link bar on the 67 going to be to long? What else wont fit or have to be changed. I think the 67 frame is a little wider? Will their be enough room in the tie rod ends to compensate for this?
Thanks any helpful info will be great.

'67 cars are bigger than the 65. You might be able to use the brake drums and rotors and a few small parts. Most 65-66 suspension parts go with 65-66 cars. Same for 67-73 cars. You're better off restoring what you have or buying new parts.
