66 body on a 68 frame?
Hello everybody it's been quite a while... Anyway- I've got a 68 SWB frame that I will not need for my '68, And I've got a '66 longbed cab and a donor 66 style short step that I'd like to put on the short frame instead of going thru the effort of shortening the long frame. I tried a search, but it was hard to narrow it down... If anybody has any info I'd appreciate it. Hopefully I can just move some body mounts or something.. thanks!
-Mike

Re: 66 body on a 68 frame?
if u go to google and type in how to shorten a lonbox chevy there should be n article in their somewhere about someone whho shortened one and there is detaile pictures on everything he did along with measurements and how to do it. on top 67-70 trucks had lots of interchangable parts with the early 60s so everything should fit nice and smooth

Re: 66 body on a 68 frame?
One thing to remember is that the frame horns are different between the 2 different eras....causing front bumper mounting issues...

Re: 66 body on a 68 frame?
I see... Otherwise theyre the same? And it will fit, just the front bumper will be difficult? or will the frame horns actually not clear the grille area...

Re: 66 body on a 68 frame?
you'll have to put spacers in your rear body mounts too, 66's mounts are higher in the back.
