I am very interested in this thread. i am using a 70 swb frame for a 63 cab and front end as well. if i am understanding correctly, i won't be able to mount the front bumper correctly w/o mods, and my radiator won't mount either using the 70 frame. i have the 70 radiator with me but i am still unsure if i will need to relocate. also, are the cab holes in the right locations and its just that the rear cab mounts on the 70 frame are an 1" shorter so i can either add/make a spacer or just grind the rear mounts off and make new ones. help a brotha out. thx.
