65 GMC 3/4 Ton F-Series Frame Swap


Recommended Posts

I am new here and hoping for some help. I am frame swapping my 65 GMC with a 99 GMC frame. This way I can have a little stronger frame, disc brakes, and a nicer riding suspension. What are some things I might have issues with in the process. I plan on using the brake booster and master cylinder from the 99 with a stand alone abs module from speedway motors along with all the brake lines. I am using the gas tank, sending unit, and fuel lines as well. I will also be using a few other things but I am currently concerned on the struggles I may have swapping the frames. Any help in much appreciated. Thanks.

Likely the biggest things are the body mount locations and brake and fuel line routing.

 

Very possible that the mount locations are different and you may have to cut and re-weld the mounting points. Then the brake line and fuel line routing may need adjustments if they don't line up in good swaps with the GMC body and firewall. Also could need to make a custom steering shaft and things like that.
