front suspension kit ?

was wondering I was looking at a front end rebuild kit .they had two one for 63-64 and 65-67 ,,I didn't realize there was a difference in ball joints,tie rod inner and outers size ? my problem is I got a bastard truck its a 62 title but its not a torsion bar front end so I think someone put 62 body on a frame from 63-66 is there a way to tell what year frame I am working with mahalo for your time Hop

The VIN on the frame will tell you what year it is.

Re: front suspension kit ?

Hey! I see you're from Lynden! I worked at the Safeway there while attending college at WWU 2002 - 2006. Small world. Good luck with your project!

Also, if it's a GMC frame, the VIN won't be on it. For some reason GMC didn't stamp VINs on the frames for 60-66. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Source:

Re: front suspension kit ?

Can you take pictures of the front frame and cross member. In that picture it looks like a different front suspension was grafted on. I could be wrong as I have been in the past.
