Dodge front Dana 60 install

I have been trying to get a chevy front 60 for a while. Well I can't find a good clean one in my budget. Can get a good dodge front 60 from a 93 with the good style lockouts.

My question is how the springs will fit on my 65 GMC since the width on the perches is a little different? I don't care about shock mounts and I will do cross over for steering. My big thing is that the springs aren't cocked in or out.

It's only a 1/4" per side, not really enough to worry bout. But you can buy offset bushings, check out Offroaddesign.com, they have them there.

People have been doing this swap for a while,As you know a gm dana 60 is high priced but a dodge one is cheap.Some have just swapped it and didn't care and some have used the offset bushings which i would they are only 75 bucks.And while your at off road designs site look at their steering kits they have a few for your set up.

I think they fit and match wheel mount surface better on the pretty 73. Offset bushings and it's like it was made for that truck.
