Another frame comparison thread

[chapster]

After searching I have myself a little confused. I have a 66 frame that I wish to use for a 67-72 body. The cross member has already been change to 73+
My understanding is the following:

1) rear cab mounts will need to be replace to the 67-72
2) 67-72 front horns will have to be swapped
3) swap out rad cradle support

Now my concern is cab mount centre hole dimension between front & back, rad cradle location front-back and not sure about the box mounts

Hope this makes sense:

Anybody,

Need to start putting my parts truck together to get some space to work on my "Never Again" project.

Hope this makes sense:

Cab mount dimensions will be the same.
Radiator core support dimensions are different. I believe there's a 1" difference (it's enough that you can't just have the bolt off center).
Bed floor mount locations on the frame are the same (x-members to frame) but the holes in the floor itself are different (floor to x-members).
