Try that on a low podded item such as a 73 and much crunching could be the result

I'm a tad out of touch with the 73 Classic these days but it has a decent limit and I don't ever recall any problem in max crosswind landing off a normal sort of approach - balanced tracking with drift on down to, say, 150ft agl or so for max, and then adjust to crossed controls, tracking the centreline with nil drift for the flare, touchdown, and rollout ?

Generally resulted in a routinely much nicer touchdown than in nil wind conditions as well ...
