combining 69 and 75

[penguinasa]

I have a 69 with a wasted body and engine but a mint frame, and now i was able to get a 75 with a sweet body and nice drivetrain.

My question is, in combining these two is there anything that i am going to need to watch for. Is this going to be an easy swap to put the body and drivetrain into the 69 frame.

Is there anything that i should make sure to keep off the 69 or 75. The 75 does have power steering so that is obviously going into the 69 also.

Are there any adapters that i need to get. I am in Iraq so i want to order everything now and have it waiting at home so i can do the swap and have a sweet ride.

The yellow bronco is the 75 that i am grabbing soon, my 69 is red.

I appreciate any help out there.

Just so you make sure you don't go through any VIN headaches, make sure you keep the VIN tag from the 69. That way it matches the frame and if you sell it at a future time, someone who wants this inspected, you won't have problems. Everything should swap over directly. Body wise, there was no difference in the frames for those years. Take the D44 off of the 75 and put it on, check to see which has a BB 9" under the rear and keep that, but make sure the gearing is the same. This should be a "relatively" easy swap. Just like doing a body off on the same vehicle.
