As long as the frame is square and the mounting points are at factory positions all should be OK. Remember, though, this is an old vehicle. Are you certain the frame is still factory square, has it ever been involved in a frame “tweaking” accident. How many times has it been driven over a curb or bolder. The one thing I always had to remember as an industrial designer is that what works in theory needs to be tempered with the realities of application. And yes, the factory that built your truck dealt with allowable tolerances. When I first started as a piping designer, in 1974, my job mentor told me that, “we make drawings to 1/16” tolerance, the pipe fitter measures and marks with chalk and cuts with a torch.” What he was trying to tell me was do the best you can, as accurately as you can, but expect some cumulative errors are going to creep in. I think you should know there could be some cumulative errors installed on your truck.
