Need help with frame identification - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi there is a chassis for sale and the guy says its a 1970-74 frame where same for 63-72 and 73-87? Also he thinks its a shortbed frame. I might use this for a later project if its a shortbed. I already have a longbed 67. If it is a 73-87 would a 60-72 body style bolt up to this frame?

It's a later model than a 72, but that's all I can tell you.

Maybe a van frame? That upper control arm isn't a truck arm, and the front rails are boxed the trucks aren't.

Steering box mounted to the inside of frame.
