| Juan, On your 61, going through a front clip process is not needed!!! If memory hasn't failed me the entire double A frame/spidle assemble can be changed out to an early 70s to mid 80s 2WD assembly. Or at the very least change out the spindle with a truck in the time frame as I mention above.
The rear end will swap out, Bolt-off,,Bolt-on from a 72 for sure, Maybe a 71 if they are 5 lug.
Chevy pickups had the same rearend suspension set-up from 1960 to 1972. Hope this helps
Later,
John A.

| Would this apply to a '65 c20 swap also. I have a donor 80 GMC 3/4ton which I have not examined but thought maybe the saddle or the arms would bolt over to the '65?
