3/4 ton question
Are the 73 & newer lower 3/4 ton a-frames the same as the 67-72 3/4 ton lower a-frames.

Re: 3/4 ton question
I think the only differance is the ball joint. The hole is either bigger or smaller. It might be the upper that is different. Are you looking to do a swap?
If you have a 68 or newer you can swap everything and leave the crossmember in. Then use the drum brake hoses and the mount on the back of the crossmember. |

Re: 3/4 ton question
I am using the 88-98 light duty 3/4 ton spindles on my 69 panel. One of the mods is I have to use a 3/4 ton lower a-frame so I can use the 88-98 ball joint. I already have a 77 3/4 ton that I can rob them from.
