I have a 71-72 frame (coil rear) with a 56 on it.
It came with the truck when I got it but if I can help you in any way I would be happy to. I dont plan on using it. I plan to go with a later model 4wd chassis.

Hey Denny when are you going to pull the cab off of that frame? I wouldnt mind seeing some pics of the frame ,cab mounts,rad support ect ect. keep me posted my Email is on my profile Thanks biddaboy (Wayne )

Its gona be a while before I yank the cab. I still need to finish my garage. Probably be able to get back to work on it this winter.
I'll take a look under it again tomorrow. I cant quite remember how it was done at this time.

Oh yea, Wayne.....
Do you already have your chassis?
And are you putting that 55 tank truck body on this frame or is this another project?
