I have a spare 72 rolling chassis with 5 lug disc brakes already, so it would make a great donor frame for the upgrade | | |

All 1/2 ton trucks (3105 is the Panel Truck model number) have the same frame with a wheelbase of 116".
All 1 ton trucks (3805 is the Panel Truck model number) have the same wheelbase of 137".

I've looked at doing the same thing with my first series '55 Suburban, and the track width is what slows me down, that and the '72 is still a very servicable truck...

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
