73-87 to 64-66 front and rear end swap?
Can anyone tell me if you can bolt up the front end - control arms,suspension,brakes ect.. from a 73-87 pick up to a 64-66 truck. could you swap the whole front end? Also how about the rear end on these? has anyone done this or can anyone help. Thanks.

Don't know about the front but I have a 60 1 ton that was changed to a 79 dually rear. Parking brakes were different. verify the size of the center bolts. and I would recommend using the newer plates that the U bolts go through. I tried using the original and one of them broke shortly after.
