flatbed620 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have a 1970 521, that i would like to take the body off and put it onto a 1979 620 chassis, rather than fix all the suspension, brakes, and steering issues on the 521. Has anyone ever done this? Is there a lot of modifications required, or do they swap easily, I have a 78 regular cab 620 or 79 king cab to choose from. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 The 521 is basically only an inch shorter than a reg cab short wheel base 620 so it should fit and look ok. The KC is out as the '79 rear wheels would be about 9 inches further back in the rear wheel wells. Will the cab and box mount holes line up? Possibly. I put a 620 on a 720 frame and it was a very good fit. you need to do some measuring of the mount hole locations. Quote Link to comment
