Re: Frame questions ???
X frame is wider in the back, with Different bumper holes , the cab mounts are different. X frame is plenty strong but harder to run exhaust. a lot of fab work to get your cab set on it.

Re: Frame questions ???
60-62 also have torsion bar front suspension. Which is harder to find parts for and to bag. You will also have to deal with different cereal number legality issues.
