Hi Guys
Looking at a set of lowered "I" beams for my truck. I have found a set of DJM beams (2nd hand) and it says that its for a 1965-1974 truck.

Problem is that I think (??) my truck is a 74, but some reckon that its a 75. There are all sorts of mods to the truck so I can't tell by just looking at the exterior. I know that the beams on the 74 and 75 are the same, except the King Pin size is different.

Is there any way that I can confirm the year build by looking at the external workings of the beams/running gear/springs, without pulling a king pin out ???

Any help would be appreciated.

SS.
