Sure- if your Pantera is still completely stock with 185-70 front & 205-70
belted-bias rear tires. But if you've converted to bigger, wider tires and
wheels, especially low profile radial tires, no- they do not fill the bill
any more.
A typical wide-tire narrow-body Pantera needs about twice the max possible
caster setting, and with 50-or-less profile tires, about half the toe-in of
the 1971 specs both front and back. Shimmng the rack mounts for less
bump-steer is good for steering comfort & handling with wide front tires too, as is
more tire pressure front & back. This subject has been covered about once a
year since the late '90s, and is in the archives, I think. Good luck- J
