93 GMC truck arm suspension conversion

Hey guys, I've got a 1993 GMC that I plan on 2 linking with coils then eventually changing to coilovers. I was going to get the ekstensive 2 link kit but I think Ive decided to adapt the trailing arm suspension off of a 67-72 pickup. Does anyone have the rear frame width measurement of a 67-72? Just wondering if the crossmember that's on the 67-72 would fit between the rails of my 93. Thanks guys, Derek

33.75~34" inside of the frame rails @ just shy of 6" tall where the c.member mounts on the frame. Prob going to need to build one from scratch.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
