Re: finaly took down to frame in front

You can use the Front suspension/disc brakes setup (will need new ball joints I think) engine/trans......driveshaft if they are both shortbeds...power brake booster with a little modification, power steering box, I think...

Re: finaly took down to frame in front

Finaly got the three on the tree cross member removed after my cusin came over to lift the cab while I grinded of factory rivets and I just used a 5 foot pry bar to brake it free from frame man these are some tough frames yeah! Also got her back on tires of jack stands yeah. But that led to problemo not enough shims on upper A arm on driver side and sits little funny? Think I will tow it to alignment shop instead of driving? to tired to go take new pics so here have few old ones you aint seen. lol

Re: finaly took down to frame in front

Did you swap in the rear from your 85 in to your 68? If so was it strictly bolt in deal or was there some fab involved?
