Please help me ID my frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am having some problems IDing my frame.
I have a 67 short bed step side
Disks up front and leafs in the back and it has all the stock rivets on the hangers and 5 lug all the way around.

I was told by a few people that the frame was a 73-87.
so i bought a c-notch kit for a 73-87 and the notch is straight, and my frame is curved.

So could some one ID my frame please?

Thanks In Advance!!!

Thanks again

I had a 67 GMC that had factory leafsprings.
As for the 5 lug bolt pattern, my first guess is that it may have been swapped from a 71-72.

Thanks,
I am starting to think that its a 67 frame with a newer front end.

Damn once again i bought the wrong stuff

Definitely a 67-72 frame. Leaves were optional. Pics of the front top side and steering box mounting would help determine if it's a '67.

67-72 frame with stepped lower controll arms and spring clamps.

Thanks for the replys guys!!
Here is the pic you guys asked for.

So when i buy front end parts, like springs, balljoints ect. what year do i look for?

Thanks again

Yes the spring clamps are going very very soon

im guessing the springs were heated and it was too low, because the clamps are reversed and are spacing out the spring so it lifts the truck.

I have been fixing crap like this for a while on this thing

Im not 100% sure but it looks like you should be able to order 72 front end stuff for it.

Wilson_ · 12-04-2008, 04:03 AM

Yeah, my memory says it was 72 that was the only year for the disc's up front in 5 lug...

71 and 72 were 5 lug.

Your front suspension is definitely pre 73 stuff as it uses steel screw in control arm bushings. In 73 they went to pressed in rubber bushings.

so a update...

I figured everything out last year and forgot to update.

67 gmc frame
73-87 front upper arms, spindals and brakes
67-72 modified lowers

thanks for the help
