hi guy .im doing a 66 gmc/chevy crew cab to a 86 chevy crew cab single wheel ,frame ,and was told the 66 truck will not fit the 73 and newer chassis -due to the kick ups front and rear? my 66 crewie chassis was a piece of junk when stretched and some previous owners really screwed it up !i have seen in c the "classis trucks " magazine a green and white 65 crew cab truck that was mounted on a 78 ? chassis ! it was located in the tucson ariz. area ? if i could find the owner to verify what was used it would be great ! any way let us know if you get body to chassis w/ some pics ?thanks mike "carryallman" wahl norwalk iowa
here is an example of what the mounting looks like when someone puts a 64-66 on ab 84 4 x 4 frame. I bought it that way but just for the suburban body that was on it. it would never pass inspection here. and you have to alter frame length.
mind you would could build better mounting for the application, but gives you an idea of the difference.
I do believe that the suburban frames has a lesser rise in the 73-91 years than the pickups
