What have I got here?

[HSRACER]

So I bought what I thought was a 68 long bed for either a quick flip or a part out. It definitely has a 68 front clip on it but the cab has a foot emergency brake and the front suspension is different than a 68 should have had. The frame is a rear leaf spring vs trailing arms.

What I don't know is was the truck put on a newer frame or was the front suspension upgraded on a 67 to 72 frame. The lower control arms have pretty deep spring pockets that appear to be unmodified.

So back to my question, is there some ways I can identify what year the frame, cab, front suspension and bed is?

I know pictures will help but I don't have any yet because I just got it home late last night. I will post a few in a day or so.

Please give me some areas to look at or clues to how to determine model years.


Thanks for any help!
