any pics?
1/2 and 3/4 from 73 to 87 are basically the same. Width behind front cab mounts looks the same. only question is 55 59 is straight and 73 to 87 drops a lot behind the front axle.
I think it would make more sense than trying to make the old system better, and just use the complete system that was designed to work together. Cant just use the front suspension since the newer frame is pinched in for independent suspension clearance.
