Post some pics of what you have. Might get more info. My 61 is a little different in shock mounting.

Agreed. We're a bunch of picture mongers! Seriously though, you'll probably get more responses with a handful of pics of what you have.

Re: 1966 Stock 4x4 chassis

From memory it looks identical to what my '63 came with.

Closed knuckle Dana 44
T221 T case
12 Bolt rear - This is the only difference I could see. It looks like the shock mounts on top have been moved inward towards the center and that the lower mounts (the ones hanging down off of the axle) have been abandoned and relocated?

Like Chris said looks factory stock. Just for info some pics of my shock mounting as yours looks modded. can't really tell. My top ft shock mounts are modded. (pic of the ft mounts i cut off) Your ft shock upper mount should go through the frame.

Re: 1966 Stock 4x4 chassis

your frame looks to me like it is a 60-62 frame, with newer rear axle

I think you are right Joe. Looks just like my 61 frame. rear upper shocks are like mine and it has a front motor mount on the x-member.
