65 ford frame ?
Is there any diffrence between a 65 frame and a 67-72, I have a nice short bed 65 frame and Im thinking about putting a later model cab and bed on it. It looks the same I just want to be sure before it get to far along.

65-72 frames are pretty much same, very swappable. 73-79 same as 65 from rear cab mount to front bumper, 4 inches added to rear of mount hole and about 4 in wider in rear.
Rear wheels will sit further back in bed wheel opening if pre 73 body is placed on post 73 chassis.
Hope that didn't fuze too much.

other than that it was pretty much a bolt on installation.
