Re: '61 stepside junk truck budget build

Neat start on the project.

Two notes though to save you some serious heartache. That is absolutely, positively not a 73 front end. That is a 71-72 front end. I can tell by two things.

1) The control arm bushings are steel screw in type. They only used them through 72.
2) The brake line tabs on the front of the crossmember positively identify it as 71-72.

If you buy 73 parts for it you're going to pay hell. Be sure and buy 71-72 parts.
