I know that he body changed again by 93, I have no idea what they may have done with body mounting points. Do you already have the Topkick? If so get to measuring! If the frame itself is the same width then adapting the body shouldn't be too difficult. What would concern me is the width of the front axle. I got really lucky that I was able to adapt the newer knuckles to my older axle, I don't know if that luck would extend to the 93 knuckles or not. From the pictures that body style looks to have a really wide axle...
Have you started a build thread for your GMC yet? I'd like to see what you are working with!
Oh, and thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.

No thread yet as I still have yet to get the 69 GMC home yet. Worked out the deal but cant find a trailer big enough to put it on, tempted to remove the front bumper and bolt on a tow bar and flat tow it home so I can start working on it. I do have some pictures of it in this thread
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=697424. As soon as I get it home and start the work It will get its own build thread.
