Re: Front end
There is a sticky at the top of the 60-66 page about this.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=171667 It pretty much sums it up except it should read '71 and up not '72 and up. Your best bet would be 71-87

Re: Front end
if you want to retain 6 lug ---there are differences in some spindles being light and heavy duty. If you want 6 lug be sure the donor has an approx 1.25" thick rotor. I have only found that the L/D spindles 1" thick rotor can be just 5 x 5 lug.

Re: Front end
Hi Pritchard1970, this will take it to the top. Sorry, I do not know much about the 62's. I saw a very near complete 63 short step which runs in southern OK last week and it appeared the front suspension was very similar to a 65-72. I am sure others can tell you about your 62.
