For the Experts: What frame do I have? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Recently bought this truck and it didn't come with a lot of history. I need to replace the worn tie rod ends and I want to lower it. It is supposed to be a 61 or 62 frame but it has disc brakes and coil springs, power steering was added as well. In the rear it has a 12 bolt and it has 5x5 bolt pattern front and rear. Also I can't see where the torsion bars would have attached originally if it was a 61 or 62. I think the mount on the frame for the panhard rod was added or modified, welding doesn't look original?
