lolife - thanks - yea I did check out your sticky on the 60-66 forum - i think I get the interchangeable and not interchaegeable stuff but my plan is to try to get a complete parts truck from 73-87 era - so i can do a complete resto and rebuild on the cross member on the bench so to speak.

So my basic question here is which one? do they all have sway bars? something I need. which years have the 1.25 rotors? My basic thought is an 87 front end should be in better shape than a 73 from a wear perspective - but Im figuring any year i get Ill need to replace bushings, bearings, etc so does year even matter?

i also figure a compelte truck donor is to my bennie to get m/c, lines, vlavles, and so on......

Mines a 64 c10 lwb by the way
