EDIT 2wd SWB differences
I think I might try to locate another '72 frame to begin my build up, but was curious if there's any differences between the 67-72 SWB frames. Are they pretty well the same across the years? I'm building a '72 SWB, and would like to locate a '72 frame, but I wanted to see if I will be able to broaden my search field to the other years they were offered. Thanks for any help! Nate

Re: 67-72 SWB Frame Differences?
Sorry guys I failed to mention this is for 2wd.
I know there will be a difference in the 2wd and 4wd frames, but mainly looking at any difference in the 67-72 2wd SWB frames.

Re: 67-72 SWB Frame Differences?
The only difference I know is that the ' 67 does not have the dimple for the steering box.

Re: 67-72 SWB Frame Differences?
the 67 and some of the early 68 frames (mine) didnt have the dimple nor did they have the provisions for a big block, i had to cut part of the top of the frame to clear my headers.

Re: 67-72 SWB Frame Differences?
67/68 have smaller holes in the core support mounts and use different bushings.

Re: 67-72 SWB Frame Differences?
So from what I've gathered:
67 - no PS pump dent/smaller core support mounts/different bushings 68 - smaller core support mounts/different bushings 69-72 - fairly the same This will help broaden my search for a good SWB frame, to hopefully begin my restoration. Thanks for your help, and any other info is appreciated!

Re: 67-72 SWB Frame Differences?
also, the metal used starting in 71 was a stronger steel. Per GM's records, 70 and older should not be heated up or drilled, while 71 and up is OK to do so.
We have prooven time and time again that it is OK to heat and drill the older ones, but the steel is still stronger on the later ones. Otherwise... what they said. ![]() |
