SWB frame questions.......
 

Thought I was being slick, bought 2 SWB 4X4 trucks with wasted frames but other wise in good shape. Gathered 4 so far 2 wheel SWB frames, coil springs.
Whoops, was going to rob all the brackets etc off the 4X4 frames and drill and rerivet to the 2 wheel frames.
Question is, it looks like the coil spring frames are kicked out for the coils in the rear. Can I still mount all the brackets etc on the coil and make it a SWB 4X4 frame.
One of the 4X4 is a 67 swb and I want to restore that one, I have 2 67(no dimple) SWB coil frames.
Where the heck would I find a great 67 leaf rear, 2 or 4 wheel drve frame?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Steve

Yes the frame are the same. The shape does not change just crossmember placement.

Summit sells the axel perches just cut off the ones from a 73 up axel and your set. Make sure it's a 6 bolts axel.

cool, that saved me a bunch of money and time. The 2 wheel drive frames here are really clean but the 4X4's.............
Thanks,

The 2wd and 4wd frames are different, just like you said. You can convert them though. I just parted out a 4x4 with a 2x4 frame.
