Axle swap from a 68 to a 66?! Will this work?
Ok, I have a friend wanting to convert his '66 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton. I have a rear axle, drive shafts, and front suspension (uca. lca, spindles, drum) off of a 68-70. Would this be a bolt up swap on the rear end? We both have trailing arm coil spring rear ends. Would he need the drive shaft? In the front. Would he just need spindle out? Or the complete uca, lca, etc? Are the control arms the same 66 to 68-70? I know the complete crossmember is an easier swap, but, his is a running driving truck and he does not want the busted knuckles and pain in the "arse" of trying to do this swap with motor installed..
Any and all suggestions and help would be appreciated.....Thanks in advance for your knowledge.
