Re: HELP!!! 62 front suspension.
Following is a link to details of the install on my 1960. After recently replacing the power steering box I'm convinced the donor front end came out of a 1975 rather than a 78. I did the swap 10 years ago so I don't remember the frame having a gap either way. Seems mine was tight and I needed a cheap cable puller to pull it into position. Good luck.

Re: HELP!!! 62 front suspension.
markeb01,
Cool front end swap! Nice Thread post on the swap! I wished I had more pics of my IFS swap, but wasn't thinking at the time.

Re: HELP!!! 62 front suspension.
I haven’t installed the new suspension yet, I was just doing so measuring and saw that there was a difference in the dimensions

I know the 63-66 shocks mount to the frame like the 67-up trucks, are the 60-62 shock mounts different?

Re: HELP!!! 62 front suspension.
yea, its a 62, I changed out the cross member for a newer style and I can tell where the shock mount on the frame will be in the way of upper a-arm, or at least it seems it will
