Sway bars are a must. There should be some aux. fluid coolers under the hood that might be worht snaggin too. I could be worng but didnt p71s get heavy duty alt.s and or starters?

Cop boxes are P72s. I'm almost 120% positive that starters are identical, assuming it's a 5.0 P72. P72's and boxes that got the heated windshield got 100 amp externally regulated alternators. Some P72s also had 3.55s in back. Most though are either 3.08s or 3.27s.Save a seal, club a liberal.

The coolers aren't very good and the oil cooler is difficult/expensive to get replacement parts for.
As stated above, the sway bars, speedo, delete panel are good to snag. The gauges aren't too bad to snag, the bucket seats if you want 'em...
The alternator isn't worth the time, a 3g is a better alternator (and an easier swap)Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
