1969 1/2 ton suspension in a 1965 3/4 ton...

I'd like to put a 1969 1/2 ton suspension in a '65 3/4 ton. I've wanted to change to a 1/2 ton for a while. Do you seen any reason why I couldn't take the complete front suspension including the cross member from the '69 1/2 ton and put it in the '65 3/4 ton? Same question does for the differential and tracking bar.

You can do that, but I would find a 73-87 donor. The replacement parts are much cheaper

The 69 stuff will swap. The Panhard bar frame bracket might need to be swapped as well (or get an adjustable Panhard bar from ECE or CPP).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
