Putting leaf rear on coil rear frame? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did this swap and everything was not there. I had to drill many holes. This could be because I started with a 72 GMC leaf long-bed and swapped everything over to a 69 Chevy coil short-bed. I don't know enough about these trucks to say for sure. Just used the old frame as a pattern to measure where all the holes would need to be.

Everything turned out fine. I've posted pictures recently of the truck assembled. Look for the post by MOCWON to see the results. I'll try to post pictures tonight of the frame but they are only pictures of the completed rolling chassis.
