71 leaf spring frame swap on my 67. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I"m going to put my 67 over on this 71 frame. It has leaf springs. I was going to put psteering, discs, so forth on my 67 but I thought if I have to pull the front clip to heat up and dimple the frame for power steering, do the front end conversion, find V8 mounts, 5 lug rear this would be way easier. The guy I know will trade me frames straight across so he can make a pickup bed trailer out of it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=181551 (the cab is going on his 4wd GMC.) I might be able to get the steering column. I'm going to do this full swap, rebuild the topend of a 305, turbo 350 auto in May and try to have it ready for our old car cruise on June 2.
Any comments or suggestions?
