mudrat79 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Actually There is a kit available.... I build One.....I have sold a few....it is a 3" kit similar to the Others I build , but slightly different in the rear due to the fact that the rear of your 79 is different from the newer Gen cars.... Call me if you like, Its the best way to contact me.... John in Oregon.... 541-206-2494 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
