please dont say if i have to ask its too hard. i decided that instead of building a street truck i am going to sell my swb frame and build a 4x out of my 72 3/4 ton parts truck, since its better than my daily driver anyway, but it already has a dan 60 on teh back so all i need is transfer case, transmission, and front susp/ axle. can i swap the whole leaf setup from a 73-87 chevy 3/4 ton? can i swap from a 1/2 ton? can i swap from a 67-72 half ton? i can buy a parts truck but it prob has a dana 44, one of you told me, and i want a dana 60. my uncle has a fab shop so the welding will be no prob, has anyone done this before?thanks ,sean
