SWB frame question
In terms of a BARE frame; what differences would a SWB frame have due to a year model change from 67 through 72? In other words, is there anything I need to keep in mind when looking for a frame for a future project or is a SWB frame a SWB frame reguardless of year.
The only differences that I can really think of would be rear coil or leaf setup and maybe the clutch linkage bracket on the drivers side, but these aren't dependent on the year.

Re: SWB frame question
in 71, they went to a stronger steel that is not affected by drilling, they called it high strength steel IIRC.
Other than that, just the steering gear box indentation that showed up on some 67's, but not all 68's. |

Re: SWB frame question
I've got a couple for sale available for your inspection any time you would like! See them in the parts for sale forum. I know for a fact that the rolling chassis is a 72 (5 lug disc brakes). not sure what yr the bare frame is...
