Will a 62 C-10 drop right on a 69 Frame?

I have a donor 69, that we want to use as a base....redue all bushings, springs, etc....and then drop a 62 front end/cab/bed (minimal down time this way)

Is this possible, well shoot I know most of you are going to say ANYTHINGS possible but is it a easy swap or alot of fabing?


Thanks

I'm thinking you'll have to fab or modify most if not all of the body mounts. For sure the front cab mounts and all of the bed mounts.

60-62 trucks will require more fabbing, especailly since the track width is so different. Close inspection of a 64 and a 72 pickup wil show you that they are pretty similar. 60-62 on a 69 frame, lots of fab. 63-66 on a 69 frame, alot less fab.
