your best bet would be to use your 67 swb frame and swap the newer susp stuff from the 85 on it. your wheelbases, mounts, and alot of other stuff are diff. from the 67-72`s and your 85 frame.

On top of the wheel base, and mouting locations, the 73 & up frames are not as flat as 67 - 72, and if you are doing a 2 wheel drive truck, it'll look kinda dumb with a lift kit that is needed to keep everything lined up.
