Good to know. How about the front frame horns. Some are "big horn" some are not?
My 96,97 and 99 all looked the same up front with internal plates in the front. All p71s too.

Your not looking close enough if you think those years all look the same... Internal plates started in 90 and go all the way up to 02 Lincoln's and some mercs have a little extra in them if you look close. Over all size and some changes with seam welds and design changed in 98 to 02 Some 97 came with the 98 style front with the 4 link control arm style arms. P71 or not they will have the internal plates up front from 90 to 02. P72 are hot right now too... |
