Hey jack,
You shouldn't have any problem. The frame's the same and the block's the same on '73's and '69's. Should bolt right on.
Good luck and don't forget to post some pics when they're on.

how much work is involved?

Will they should bolt right up...ut there are a couple of things you have to do:

'TRIM' the fiberglass on both sides at the front of the fender (for 69 style)

what side pipes are you thinking?

if its the 69 style, as well as trimming the body you also have to drill a couple holes in the chassis to mount the covers (I haven't put the covers on yet -Ive just got the pipes on )
