late model suspension swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

63longfleet · 11-22-2014, 03:26 PM

Hi all, been lurking the site for a little bit, fixin to start my 63 long fleet project and have those budget issues we all share. I have read the threads on swapping control arms and such from a later model but is there a way to maintain the 6 lug bolt pattern. Im sure this may be a stupid question and it is prob. been addressed in here before but I havent found it yet. Thanks

Putting the 73 to 87 front end under them is well documented here. Summit racing has the best price on the rotors right now.

I have read the posts on the 73-87 swap , more than twice, and it stated that the spindles have to be the ones that use the 1 1/4 rotors, is there anyway to tell that if the rotors are already off the truck?
