78 suspension to a 81 van
 
:whine: :eek: :mad:

I just rebuilt my front end on a 1978 Chev 3/4 tonn long box
4 ball joints and upper control arms, plus

Now I've gone crazy a took in my neighbours 81 Chev full size van!

Will the parts fit on the Van????????

Or should I use the pick up frame with the Van Body?

So what are you going to do with the truck? Why not rebuild the van front end as opposed to swapping out parts?

Is the truck a frame only with no body? It sounds like alot of work to swap bodies as opposed to rebuilding the front suspension on the van.

The trucks frame is good and the suspension is brand new!
But the body is shot and so is the box!

I want a van, but if all the new front end parts won't fit on the van than I don't know what I going to do with the $1000.00 I got into the suspension!

The motor is also going into the van!

lots of work, but I got time to burn!
:devil:

I 'm hopeing the parts will bolt right onto the Van!
4 ball joints and upper control arms?????????
Cheers
