crossmember
I swapped the front suspension out of my 62 1/2 ton and used a front crossmember from a 75 chevy 1/2 t. It fit pretty well on the frame, but only 6 out of 14 bolt holes lined up. the other holes I had to drill out, it isn't that bad of a job. The 62 frame was about 3/8" shorter (vertical) than the 75 frame but I shimed up the frame to match the height of the crossmember so I could get the top two holes drilled in the frame to bolt it up correctly. I think 73 - to 87 will work for you. Then you also get disc brakes on the front and alot cheaper parts to redo the front suspension. Hope this enough info. for you. Rich
