converting form 3/4 to 1/2 ton front suspenion q's??
i'm looking to convert my 3/4 ton 68 chevy 2wd to 1/2 ton suspension. what's my best bet for the front? all of the control arms are pretty scaley so I plan on buying new ones. will the 1/2tons bolt onto the frame with no modification? i would think if they did that would be the easiest way.
thanks, Dave |

If you can fund the whole front crossmember from a newer truck with disk brakes you can bolt it right up to 72 I believe. Anything later is pretty much a bolt in ,but you do have to drill some holes but im not sure which ones they would be..

I did the 3/4 to 1/2 ton swap on my 68 but I wanted to keep it looking like a 68 with the 6 lug rallys. I had collected various parts here and there including the rear trailing arm cross member, arms, etc. I love the coil sprung suspension... good luck
