I took everything from a 75 Chevy Truck and it bolted right on to my 65 crossmember... I used the upper and lower control arms, Center link. Idler arm (that requires redrilling) and a steering box which I suggest getting the Rex Kit for that.. and I even used the sway bar, dont forget to take the monting brackets... You can use a rearend out of a 71 or 72 they bolt right in.. Not everything is a bolt in and some drilling is nessesary... It really isn't that hard and is alot easier if the front sheetmetal is not on the truck...
