But is the old A-fram and torsion bar front axle of the GMC going to swap with the leaf sring front axle of the Ford ? them ford axle's are 4.88 ratio than with 650ftlb torque engine in front of them will the 40+ year old chassie and spring shackles going handle it ?
Than i gotta get more picky on what 40+ year old truck i use. . . I would need to find a rust free 60-66 GMC 1ton-1-1/4ton dual rear wheel truck with a 60" cab to axle as most are 84" cab to axle and longer with 9'-12' long bed's i want the short truck with a 7 foot bed,
8'dump box = 7' flat bed. . .
it took me year's to find a rotten one aka
K-3000 cab ain't held on by much but it's strong running pull truck .
I would rather do the 2 stage swap have all later model running gear,and only have to find a 60-66 GM body . . .
measrue 5 time cut once weld once grind everything smooth should look just fine paint on everything. . .
