Front end
 

Hello guys happy new year i was wondering if you guys know what year model truck i can use to get the front end out of with disc brakes that will mount right up on my 65 chevy

There is a sticky at the top of the 60-66 page about this.

It pretty much sums it up except it should read '71 and up not '72 and up.

Your best bet would be 71-87

if you want to retain 6 lug ---there are differences in some spindles being light and heavy duty. If you want 6 lug be sure the donor has an approx 1.25" thick rotor. I have only found that the L/D spindles 1" thick rotor can be just 5 x 5 lug.

Hi Pritchard1970, this will take it to the top. Sorry, I do not know much about the 62's. I saw a very near complete 63 short step which runs in southern OK last week and it appeared the front suspension was very similar to a 65-72. I am sure others can tell you about your 62.
