Re: 62' Frame swap

It's been said before. The x frame is more ridged and there is just as much aftermarket for the 62 frame. It seems to me it's a lack of searching. The drop spindles, brakes 5 or 6 lug and torsion bar works fine. The rear is the same, still have to modify to fit. In fact Porterbuilt has a x member for the 63 up. If that doesn't convince you.
Long to short bed would be only concern. Apparently Chevy decided that the torsion bar was a good Idea because they brought it back
