I see more of the 67-79's than the Slicksides. Essentially the same type of build. It's a tight fit, and you'll need to box the frame, and put in "352 with snow plow" front springs. The I-beams themselves are the same between the F1-350. The spindles of course change with tonnage. The rear will hold pretty well, depending on the hp level. Having an intercooler will be difficult to mount also.

you might also think about doing a body transplant onto the frame of a 12V dodge. Just a thought unless you want to do alot of work, never a bad thing.
