Re: whats the diffrence
the '60-'62 has a X frame and torsion bars up front. stock suspension parts are spendy, but you can swap in an '73-up cross member.
the '63-'66 and '67-'72 suspensions are pretty much alike, and you can just change to '73-up arms to have disc brakes and updated suspension. And

Re: whats the diffrence
60-62 also have a different rear end, so swaping in a 5 lugger takes some fab work,also if yours is a stick it has a hydrulic clutch that is feed by your master cylinder ( brake/clutch) so when updating your brakes this has to be modified too .
No biggie . Nice truck and welcome from SAN JOSE Nor*Cal
