Are you trying to upload them from your computer or from a pic hosting site?

I just took them from my digital camera and saved them on my computer.

I'm not sure if on this Forum you have to be a paid member to do that or not.

Give this a try if you haven't already:

When you post a reply, down below the text box is a button you can click on that says "manage attachments". Click on that and then click " browse" to choose from the pics on your computer.

Yeah I have tried that and it keeps telling me theres an error. I just put a link to a photobucket sight that I just learned about. Its a start, now I would like to be able to put the pics and not a link. I really appreciate your help.

The one difference will be the front cab mount and possibly some of the other body mounts. But since you have both frames, just compare and transfer what you need to put the Panel body on the '66 frame

the frt cab mounts are the same are they not; it is the second set that are different, the ones at the back of the p/u cab or behind the seat on the panel
the back of the frames are different as for attaching the back of the panel body(rear crossmember)

Man Chris, you're not far at all. Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it. Can you do body work? Some of the guys here at work said the San Jac. College used to look for projects to work on. I may check with them about the body work on my panel.

Thanks for the input, man you guys here know your stuff. Its gonna make this project a lot easier. As soon as I get the cab and bed sold off the truck I will start to compare the frames. It seem that the front are the same, and the next set back are different. I think the location might be the same, but the mount itself is longer( sticks out farther) on the panel. And the rear, I haven't even looked yet. I put the bed on Craigslist last night and got five emails about it, it seems like parts for these trucks sell pretty good? Anyways, thanks for all your input, I'm going out of town tomorrow so won't be on for a week or so. Hope you guys have a good Thanksgiving.

just realized that it is a 61 and a 66 ; I believe that the 66 mounts are also spaced out a little further sideways

Looks like a project all right!!! About your pics....the error may be that the pics are too large. Need to be downsized; I do mine 50% from original.

Hey guys a change of plans, After my Turkey day trip, the wife and I were talking, and I need to get other projects around the house done this winter, so both trucks are up for sale together. I'm going to throw them in C.L. today. If any one knows any one that might be interested, let me know. Thanks for all the input. After the home projects, I'll just try to find another truck.

Maybe not, I got a call from our insurance man today and he said to call him on Wed. he had good news. Maybe we'll get a little reimbursement from the hurricane damage and I can keep the project......Wishful thinking.
