I put a complete front crossmember from a 78 1 ton dually (and reareand) under the chassis on a 68 I did a year or so ago. Bolted right in after drilling one new hole and elongating on hole per side. This allowed me to ditch the whole 68 1 ton front axle assembly. As to if it will stay under your front fenders on your 47 I don't know. Tape measure.
