Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

Your assumptions are correct. The 73+ trucks have the same width frame but a wider spring separation in the rear. Fronts are all the same. So you can use later, wider hangers with later axles without having to move the spring pads. That is what I did: suspension and axles from a 73.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your pickup.
