Rear Crossmember same between 64-66 SWB and LWB? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First off, I googled this picture to use for reference, so if it's someone who wants me to remove it, just let me know.

Anyway, thinking about picking up a SWB frame to convert my 65 C10 LWB into a shorty. The guy sold the 'rear crossmember' where the trailing arms bolt.

Does this piece interchange between the LWB and SWB frame? Can I just use the piece off my '65 and still use this frame?

I'm going to "assume" they are the same up until '72?

I believe they are the same from '63 to '72. You can use an original or an aftermarket crossmember.

Thanks, that what I was hoping.

Only difference I have seen, is the LB has a two piece drive shaft with a carrier bearing, where the SB will have a one piece shaft. But the cross member itself is the same.

Thanks for the input. I figured they were all the same, but you know what they say when you 'assume' something.
