Re: Has anybody done this??
Yep, been there done that.....about 20 years ago.
Here's a thread I started about this. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=481023 It depends on how much work you want to do as to the end result. Personally, unless your original frame is unuseable, I see no good reason to change the whole frame. Just upgrade the suspension, brakes and steering.

Re: Has anybody done this??
Yes and no. He welded the back half of a '73 frame onto his '65 frame. He also had to do some modifying and fabricating on the rear of his cab floor to allow for the different rear frame, to avoid the body lift look.

Re: Has anybody done this??
seems like more work than its worth, I like the frames with trailing arms on the 63-66 set up better than the newer ones, just do the disc brake upgrade.
