Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have a 1969 Chevy truck (3/4ton). It has a closed knuckle front end and I would like to swap another front end in. I was wondering what years would be a stright swap and what is the best front end to use . Thank for you help.

I'm pretty sure that any Chevy 70+ to 78/79 Dana 44 would be a bolt in swap, or a D60 to 87-ish if you want to go big. I know that Chevy had disc brakes in 73 with the body style change, but haven't looked under many 70-73 vintage 4x4 trucks. There may be difference in the spring pad widths, so measure there. Second, I did not list the Corporate 10-bolt, but these may fit too.
