I'm not expert in the older series, but I believe '63+ is the same frame and that '62 and down are an "X" frame setup.

We've got a few pre-67 folks on the board... hopefully they can clarify.

Cab mounts are diff I believe, I know they are from 62-63.

Yeah the 60-62 frame is the x-frame and the 63-66 is the same type as the 67-72 but the cab mounts, radatior mounts and the front bumper brackets are different.
