Any luck outside this post? I'm in the same boat. I'd like to loose the 62 frame and step up to somthing with disc brakes and coils, loosing the front torsin bar

I have a 65 with 22's and have just purchased a front clip off of a 78 chev. with disc brakes power steering gear box etc. This is a direct bolt on for my truck aside from drilling a couple of holes in the frame. I purchased the whole setup for $150.00. Check your local wrecking yards for a 73-78 front clip! Vince

Thanks Vince. I'll try that route. So for your 65 it was all bolt on??
