4WD to 2WD with 87 chassis and 71 crossmember?
To anyone that can help: Will a 71 crossmeber and disc brake front setup fit onto my 87 4x4 frame? I ask because I already have both, and I seem to remember that the upper and lower arms are the same for both the 67-72 style and 73-87 style halftons, correct? I am hoping this means the crossmembers are the same, and that my 4x4 frame has accomodations for the 2WD setup? Thanks to the suspension gurus.

On paper it should work but in the real world not sure.

Maybe I should pose my question differently. Are 67-72 2WD crossmembers the same as 73-87?
