bed/axle swap

Post by jeffs66 »

I'm looking to make two trucks into one. I currently have a 66 swb and I'm looking at buying a 64 swb. I'd like to swap my 66 bed and rear axle over to the 64. Are the frames the same? I think this is a direct swap but I'd like some confirmation before I buy the 64. Thanks!

Both should have a 114" wheelbase. The box will swap over.
There "might" be a slight difference in the length of the frame
tails. You can confirm by measuring from your cross member
that has the shock absorber mounts back to the ends of the
frame. The axle will swap over as well. :study :2cents

Thanks! I figured the axle was a direct swap, was just concerned about the bed mounts.
