Thanks Brian. That's what I was planning on doing minus the backing plates. Didn't realize the current backing plates wouldn't fit the '74+ wheel pants. That means I'll need to find the pants and brackets, which will likely be harded to do

If you or anyone else gets some leads on the '74+ style wheel pants, please let me know!! I haven't seen any on eBay the last couple weeks. Anyone see them at a local salvage yard? I've got none by me.
