What interchanges with 67 1-ton. Are 1/2 & 3/4 ton the same? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the king pins are larger. You should be able to easily swap any disc brake setup from a pre '80 one ton onto your frame though so options are out there and the newer stuff is still available at the parts houses (calipers and rotors)

I am looking for an extra set so I can build a set to lower my truck. I want to keep it where I can move it around. When I swap them it will be basically down to a rolling frame.
What I need to know, are 67-72 1-ton all the same? TIA

There are some variables but it shouldn't matter too much. I assume non dually. I'd find the best disc brake equipped set I could and modify those if I was keeping it stock height. Since you don't want to, go Crown Vic or similar and some flavor of wheel adapters. You'll lose the wheel geometry if you go too low and also run out of travel pretty quickly. I think I have 4" of front travel on my Cummins powered 10k frame with stock springs.
