So im looking to make my 73 roadrunner a roller and I am wondering what the highest year car that the rearend and front suspension will bolt up to it. Not to be street safe just more cost effective to obtain cheap parts from a junk yard in order to push it around or are there any plans available on the web to make a rotisserie or bolt on wheels?
 
I think for rear ends you're looking at '71-'74 B-bodies, maybe '75 if you're looking for an 8-3/4" rear end. I believe the Cordoba/Magnum 9-1/4" rear ends with the "isolink" rubber biscuits will bolt up, but are much weaker from my experience. You can find rear ends and axles pretty cheap, maybe $150 total, but the center section/gears are where the money is....maybe $200-$500. All your front suspension is cheap & available at AutoZone.

Looking on the web site doesn't look like spindles or control arms are available. Weak doesn't matter Im looking for readily available in any junk yard that I can get for cheap to bolt on to it to wheel it around my driveway or in the garage or get it on a trailer to take to the DMV so they can title it.
