Rear frame section????

How much difference is the rear frame secton from a 67-68 to a 64-66?


Getting me a free leaking aluminum rear mount gas tank this weekend from a 68. Luckly the business I am in, I have access to an aluminum tank fabricator that can fix the leak or leaks for free as well I hope. Can't beat that.

Thanks guys,

Cody

Not much. The holes for the bed bolts are slightly different (elongated on the later frames). The Panhard mounts are different as well. Frame rails are the same....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

So there is a good chance the tank can work?

Yes. A 69-72 blazer tank would fit & is a common swap so other rear tanks that would fit a 67-72 should work as well.

Thanks that makes me happy.
My boss has a 89-91 parts Suburan. I am going to rob the steering column, foot emergency brake setup, hood release, 700r4. Is it worth using the front suspension from too?

Definitely worth it if the price is right.

Re: Rear frame section????

Suburban price is FREE!!!! Just have to pull the parts. He bought it for the front sheet metal for his 74.
These parts will bolt up right or little to no fabrication correct?

Yes the '89-'91 2wd Suburban front suspension, brakes and steering will bolt up with little modification and a couple aftermarket brackets. They are the same as the '73-'87 pickups.
