Lopez916 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I want to buy another frame for my 521 so I can clean up and powder coat on the side. What year trucks can I use. I know I can use 70-73 521's but are there any other years so my search isn't so narrow. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Get yourself a 78 or 79 620 frame. Disc brakes and ball joints FTW. :) Quote Link to comment
Lopez916 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have front disc brakes already but will the 620 frame be a complete direct swap or does there need to be some special fab work. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think the cab mounts work but the box ones are located differently... big deal, easy welding. Get a '78 or up, sell your discs. '83 2wd and up got bigger calipers and vented rotors. Quote Link to comment
Lopez916 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Will this work? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/1050249002.html Quote Link to comment
Justin Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 That frame will work, but no discs quite yet for those... (if you get it maybe we can work out a deal for a few parts-) Quote Link to comment
