A technical question K?
Ok as we all may or may not know
I own a 1967 3/4 with a Dana 60 in the rear and twin I beams in the front.
I also have my 1969 1/2 ton with a 9inch in the rear and once again twin i beams in the front.
Both do not have power steering or brakes.
Here is my question what would be the easiest way to make my 1967 3/4 ton into a 1/2 ton poteintially using the donor parts from my 1969 1/2 ton.

Okay i guess i can be first.....and maybe not correct but.......
Don't you just have to change the springs around and you could use what ever rear axle you choose. I would use the 9 inch.

As you need F-350 pickup axles front and rear. C&C rear axles are too narrow. Don't use adapters on the rear.

The reason I drive Superduties are because they are work trucks. The 700km to a tank of fuel with the diesel is nice too. I don't know to many people that want to restore a truck and take it out in the bush and sink it to the frame.

i was thinking of trying to find a conversion kit for it, or find a whole axle assembly at the wreckers. the truck i had in mind is only a half ton 2wd, the conversion would be mostly for looks.
I won't bury it to the frame though, I may take it up to about 6".
