Re: Bodyswap
why not just swap the suspension to the 62 frame. Much easier

Re: Bodyswap
This question has been asked many times, and I always discourage swapping to a '73+ frame. I've been there done that and yes it is too much work in my opinion. It is far easier to transfer the front suspension and differential.
