200X 1ST GEN YES, 2ND gen not a bolt on and even if it was you dont want 9inch travel up front and 3 in the rear.

I got another question for you or anyone who wants to chip in. Any way to run disc brakes on a 81 frame ? The roller I got had a entire 82 rear end setup on the 81 frame https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230714/fe626c51996c00927b71ef414e754f9f.jpg

weld on two threaded tabs to the frame and run a master cylinder. You can get rid of all the drum stuff, ive done it on other machines, its not hard. You'd need a flange made to weld to the 81 swinger

I appreciate the response tho brotha
