Ive Got a 65 1/2 ton Chevy LWB and I have a 66 3/4 ton that I bought as a parts truck. I was planning on using the 3/4 ton frame and suspension to do a frame-up build then swithch the 65 body over to it.

My question is can I use the 3/4 upper and lower control arms interchangeably with the 1/2 ton control arms? or are they different. I was planning on just using a bolt on kit, but after going through this thread...WOW!

I was avoiding doing late model parts swapping because I thought I would be in the dark on my own and end up f**ing it up. Thanks for organizing this!

any help is greatly appreciated. also, how do i add this thread to favorites?

Cheers!
