Sounds like what we are going to do. In late August we are going to take all the running gear, including the rear-end off my '71 lwb C-10 and put it on the '69 swb frame.

My son, the mechanic, says it should be a piece of cake, we will just have to wait and see, lol.

it doesn't seem like too much work. Just havent had time to do it. Shyguy, If you guys have everything already there, you guys shouldn't have any problems. My thing now is I have a 71 Rear end... Do I want to sacrifice the original shorter Rear end for that one or just order new axles....hmmmmm.... decisions decisions...

My 68 started out as a 3/4 ton. Now its sitting on a 72 1/2 ton frame with leaf springs. Looks like it came from the factory that way. Joseph

Thanks! Anyone that looks at my truck, that knows nothing about 67-72 thinks its all stock. I'll admit i didn't notice it until i bought the truck and started asking questions on this site, I'm mainly a 60-66 guy. I drive the 68 every day to work, sometimes 100+ miles per day. Power steering, power brakes, sway bar, drives like a new truck....well for 1972. Joseph
