It should all bolt back up just like it will on your 67. Smart thinking.

if you want two useable trucks, why do the swap? Just leave them alone and drive as.

Ahhh makes sense. I got to thinking about it after I posted that maybe he had the bigger engine in the 67 and needed extra stopping power.

Yeah that and the 67 is my "baby" and the 76 would be the truck that allowed the 67 to reamin my "baby" if you get my drift...lol that and the 67 currently had a 352, and is going to get a 460 as soon as I can afford it. whereas the 76 is a inline 6, with a 3 on the tree.

Cheap is good! I got a 72 free, a 64 for $100, put the 72 crossmembers on the 64, using the axles and power discs/power steering off a 75 I got for $100, sold the 390/C6 out of the 75 for $200, in the process of putting the larger brakes from the 72 on my 62. I think I'm ahead...lol
