87 to 66 front clip?

[wdsteeves]

I recently bought an 87 1/2 ton for frontend parts swap.I am thinking it may be easier to cut the frames and weld the 87 to the 66 burb.Anyone out there done this?Any info/pictures would be greatly appreciated.I also want to lower the truck as low as I can without air.I have visited many suppliers sights,ECC,CPP etc.Being new to this I am boggled.As I live in British Columbia (freight costs) it is critical that I order the right stuff the first time.I know what I would like to do with the truck(if parts are available)I guess I need to talk to people who have there rides done,rather than a parts guy who may not know his stuff.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanx
