Question 1960 Frame Vs 1962 Frame Differences

Have a question. Is there any major differences between a 1960 F-100 frame and a 1962 F-100 Frame? I have come across a 1960 that has a 302 and C-6 installed, so can I swap the body parts from the 62 over? I know this sounds like a dumb question, but will take any and all comments and advice.

Thanks

Someone will probably come along and give you a definite answer, but as far as I know the frame is the same from 60-64. Not 100 percent sure though.

Magee,
Thanks, I am thinking they are the same, but just want to make sure before I disassemble two trucks.

They are as different in mount locations as the 64 is to the 65. They wiill share leaf springs and rear but not much else. the mount locations for the cab are entirely differing in location.

Width will be the approximatly the same but the front axle is entirely differing in track width, caster and camber.

Fabrication is required.

Garbez2,
