73 and up 4x4 12 bolt in a 72 and earlier?
Can it be done? It looks like you just have to move some brackets. Any help once again would be greatly appreciated.

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT 73 UP REARS ARE 1 1/2 INCHS WIDER ON EACH END.

And the spring pad spacing is wider. Shock mounts are wrong also. Spring pads and shock mounts can be changed quite easily though.

73-up 1/2 and 3/4 ton 2wd and 3/4 ton are 42.5" spring pad spacing and so are 2wd 1/2 and 3/4 ton 64-72 except for longhorns
only difference is one shock mount which is easily modified, get tape measure out to measure to make sure on dimensions 70-72 axles are wider than 73-up light duty 1/2 ton axles by about 3/4" 57" plate to plate in 70-72 and about 56 1/4" in 73-up good luck |
