Swapping parts from 76 to 68 c10

[bucktruck68]

Guys - Can you tell me if the following parts off a 76 c10 will fit directly to my 68 c10 or will it take a little altering?

Master cylinder / booster
Complete front suspension
AC/heater set up
steering column

Thanks
Jeff

The whole front engine crossmember will fit plus the booster and master cyl.,gives you front disc brakes.

I saw a thread somewhere on here where someone installed a 73-87 evaporator into a 67-72 box and used all of the 73-87 lines as well in order to go to the modern cycling system instead of the poa valve...

Thanks for the replies. Helps alot. I am looking at buying a running 76 to convert to disc brakes, ralleys, ac, 350, etc.

The crossmember WILL fit, but it will raise the engine stands about 1/2 inch, meaning you will need to make a spacer for the top side of the engine mounts. To avoid this, just move the control arms and keep your crossmember.

No problems here on the cross member swap and this is the first I heard of a spacer needed for mounts.I have been running this set up for years hmmmm would it be differant tower/motor mount option ??

Ive done 2 and when I did my daughters 66 GMC the mounts did not fit exact. I was told that it had to do with the height of the frame sidewall. The other truck is a 84 and I did not measure it but was told that the 84 frame is taller than the 66. The rest bolted under perfect but the plates had to be modded.

I used a 74 crossmember and a 76 on another maybe they changed when they went to the metric sh#$ I mean dimentions
