1969 vs 1972 frame differences? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 72 cab on a damaged 72 frame. I have the opportunity to grab a 69 frame and wondered the differences. My 72 k member/front parts are fine as well as my rear end. Just the frame would be swapped. Differences?

If same length trucks and both 2wd or both 4wd and both Chevy frames I do not know of any differences. Just swap out the entire front saddle from the 72 and rear diif to get all 5 lug.

The location of the rear brake hose bracket may be different. Not a big deal but something to be aware of.
