Found this one on CL.com. He says that it is identical to a 68-70 B Body K-Member. Just wanted to confirm this with you guys first.

Thanks

I doubt identical but maybe useable. I have 71 disc brakes and lower control arms on my 68 and I used a 70 K frame because the sway bar setup is differant and the 71 sway bar would not work on my 68 K frame.

the only diff that I'm aware it's the way how the front sway bar goes through the K member from side to side. I think on 70 they changed that, but as complete assembly including sway bar I think it must work

if the newer sway bar is used the lower arms have to be used as well. The mounting tabs are in a differant location. I had a disc brake setup I saved from a 71. I put the disc brakes on and found the front mount caliper hit the sway bar on the 68 setup. It restricted how far the wheels could turn. I tried to mount the 71 sway bar to the 68 k frame. I found it didn't want to fit and would need modified. I didn't keep the k frame from the 71 so I found a 70 k frame to put in. I did have the 71 lower arms to swap in.
