'75 rearend, 4 link or torque arm???

I've searched and the info I'm reading says the '75 standard vegas used the 4 link rearend while the cosworths used the torque arm. I have a '72 wagon that I need the 4 link brackets and arms for and this '75 I have my eyes on is cheap cheap. I need the firewall, rearend, seats, dashpad and misc stuff so $300 for the car sounds pretty decent. Just need to confirm the rearend before I travel for pickup. The seller is a lady that doesn't want to crawl under the car.

You have it correct, '75 standards have the four link, Cosworths had the torque arm.

Excellent and Thank You Sir!!

Well turns out it has a torque-arm rear, not original but retrofitted. It appears to be a 7.5 with factory brackets and converted to 5-lug and has a posi tag......not sure of the gearset. My plans for the '72 were a SBC, auto, and the S10 rear I already have. I probably will just use this rear and save myself some welding. The trans that's in this parts car is an auto with the torque-arm tailshaft, not sure if its a turbo 350 yet. It was a V8 car and came with Sanderson shorty header and some bonus parts like slot mags, rear spoiler, front chin spoiler, perfect windshield, 1 perfect grab/bar dashpad, 1 perfect non grab/bar pad and near perfect fr/rr seats. I'm stoked for the money I paid!!

What's the VIN number on the '75, maybe it's a converted Cosworth.

The fifth digit is a B. It does have a rear sway-bar but the panhard bar is obviously not a factory install.

Come on Dick. Who in their right mind would take a Cosworth and go bugger it up with a V8... Wait a minute.

Mike, you're not the only one!
