I have recently been given a nice running 67 chevy truck. Its two wheel drive and I have a 4x4 drivetrain from a 72 truck. I want to know if the frames from 67 to 72 are the same? Any thoughts? Crossmembers? Swapping to leafs up front? Calipers?

The '67-'72 is a different animal than the '60-'66 as far as 4x4 goes. They have more in common with the '73-'87 in how the front is setup. You would be looking at swapping the T-case crossmember, spring mounts, steering box, and axles.

Just the same, a friend of mine just did a body/engine swap. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Yes your cool '67 cab with the small window will bolt right on the '72 frame. I have done that exact same swap, 26 years ago. | | |
