Front end swap question

Anyone ever pull the whole front end off the frame of a 73-80 half ton and bolt it rite onto a 67-72 ?

Re: Front end swap question

I know the stearing box swaps ..
if you use the pitman arm from 67-72.
And I know the whole assembly will drop in a 63.
Reason I ask is because I was thinking discs

Re: Front end swap question

I have not done it personally but know of it being done hundreds of times. To use the 73 -87 cross member one bolt hole has to be drilled but it will be evident when the others are lined up. Jim
