Frame differences in 67-72 Suburban?

Looked a bit and did not see anything on this topic...was wondering if there are any frame differences between a 68 and a 72 Suburban 2wd and 1/2 ton? Think I am going to do a frame off on my '72 and I have a '68 laying around...so thought I would do all my suspension work and frame strip and powdercoat on the 68 frame so I would not have to take down my '72. Then just swap my 72 Suburban tub onto the '68 frame when it is nice and perty.
So, help me a bit and lmk if there are any differences in the frames so I can ponder whether to do it this way...

As always thanks in advance for your knowledge and wisdom!

Adam

The only difference I can think of would be the axles and front suspension, but I am assuming you will be redoing all that, and possibly the area by the Power Steering pump if there is no dimple for it

Exactly, will be swapping rear end and front crossmember for 5 lug and end up with 4 wheel disc brakes too...thanks for the input. Any one else??
