LWB to SWB swap - frame differences?
I'm converting a 72 LWB to SWB and found a 67 SWB frame. Before I get too far down the road. Are there differences in the frames from 67-72? For example, I measured the radiator support mounts on both frames and there is a difference in the widths. Just want to make sure I know any other differences going in.
Thanks! ![]() |

All I can add is I discovered there must be MAJOR differences in brake line routing and mounting-'72 disc lines no fitty! Only other thing may be coils or leafs on rear susp.

For 67 frames, I know of the following to be different: Core support mounts, steering box mounts, & no notch outs in the frame around the engine
