i am doing a 72 burb and used a 87 long bed and had to move rear up 4" there are factory holes in the frame for the rear hangers i had to make frame mounts the wheel base is 128" also on a burb frame it is strait from first cab mount to front of back tire and on pickups it is humped up so you need to make mounts and truck frame is 6" shorter at rear will have better pics soon have frame mounts done and rear moved up will have closeups
