8 Lug Vs. 5 Lug 2WD?

[brianhannon]

Hi,

I am restoring my grandfather's 75 2WD C10. The frame is completely rotted through and I found a decent frame from a 73 at a local junkyard. The 73 is a 2WD 8 lug. Is the frame the same from 5 to 8 lug? I'm assuming I can just swap out front suspension components.

Thanks,

Brian

I believe the 3/4 ton frames are thicker. But otherwise mostly the same.
