1972 Frame under a 65????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a 65 c10 SWB that is completly stripped and have a friend of mine that has a 72 C10 SWB that is already powder coated. I just got another 72 C10 LWB frame that has PS and 5 lug front disc brakes. I just finished stripping the junk frame of everything including front suspension crossmember. From all the measurements that I've taken (cab mounts forward) everything is the same except the rear axle is 1.5" wider. It seems that it will be easier to mount the PS on the 72 frame since it came with it. I don't have to use the PS gearbox adapter plate like I would on the 65. Is there anything that I'm missing.
Thanks
Alan
