A question for you hard cores that have been thru several EB's. Were there any changes made to the frames over the years?

Some changes. Off the top of my head.

66 rear shock mounts were mounted in front of the axle and used studs instead of eyes. 67-77 were all behind the axle.

Of course, there are differences between a 6 cyl and a V8 for motor towers.

76-77 have different upper track bar mounting from 66-75. And the bolt size is larger on the 76-77.

The 77 also uses a different rear fuel tank which is secured differently from the earlier models.

This is all that comes to me right now. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

Jason
