Wow, so I may not be up the creek as far as I thought I was. I was worried that getting parts was going to be a nightmare. It seems as though the diagrams in the LMC parts catalog may not be entirely accurate or correct. Or perhaps they just failed to show all of the different setups that were built.

Do any of you recommend any other part catalogs / sources for these old beasts. I'm fairly new at having a truck this old and so far I've only dealt with LMC.

Thanks for all of the help - I'm gonna go buy some brakes - And take some hub pictures while I'm at it - And maybe replace the U-joints while I have it apart.

I have found the lmc and other books get a little sloppy. Especially as far as what pictures they show with part numbers. It makes it confusing becuase I have ordered what I know to be the correct part # but the picture is something completely different.

Cross member under oil pan also strongly suggests pre 73 frame. Not sure about axle itself but lack of factory mount for steering stabalizer (hole in tie rod) indicateds pre 73 for that part. not sure of exact year that was introduced but know it was after 72.

Agree with others posts also, np205 etc.
