Re: 71 on a 68 frame

I'm doing a similar swap 68 frame 70 gmc short step body. The only things I know of the radiator support brackets are different and the rear end housings are different widths.The 70 frame was bent from an accident I chiseled the rad.support brackets off the old frame and will use on the 68.

It is riveted. The 67-68s have smaller holes.
