Extended Cab on 620 Long Bed Frame

[Orange620]

Since I have the 75 and 77 sitting side by side now, I can see the differences in the frames and I'm definitely going to swap the 77 KC Cab and short bed on to the 75 long bed chassis. I only have to cut off and move the forward bed mounts on the 75 chassis. For the rear bed mounts, all I have to do is drill new holes. I will also have to cut a couple inches off the rear end of the chassis rails.

Sure, I'l do that. The first thing I'm going to do is get both cabs and beds off, but I'll take some side by side comparison pictures first.

thanks ,, I'm looking foward to your project and pic's. this is going to help me out alot. also are you going to be bagging/dropping or just keep it the stock height.

Stock height but with ball joints and discs(front and back). I also want to go to 15" wheels. I don't really want to modify it, just update it.
