My understanding is that it will work just fine. I'm using a '73 front end in mine, but I haven't mounted it yet or measured it against the old one. Some say that it's wider, but others say they're exactly the same. It'll mount right up, regardless. I'm gonna go ahead and use it. I have the matching rear end from the donor truck, so I don't really have anything to worry about. If you're worried about it, measure the width against the original.

The whole cross member will bolt right up no problem, but it is 3" wider total, up to 72 it is the same width!..

I heard it will work all the way up to an 86, or w/e they quit making the really square looking front end trucks

I used an '84 Suburban on my '65 C10, it worked great. Simple bolt in......
