Hey dude! I enjoyed perusing your build! I will have to go back when I have more time. In the middle of writing a damn thesis and moving the family to a new base. So I am trying to sort this out, you're keeping the frame, engine, tranny, rear axle of the 89 but using the 68 front axle with 89 spindles, etc? PERFECT. Cause I want to take an 86 GMC Rollback and swap our 68 C40 dumptruck cab onto it. I didn't want to buy the rollback if the swap wouldn't work. I got too many other projects but we want to save the dump truck cab because it has family heritage and the '86 366 and 5-speed would be great for towing. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you!
