For the Advance Design trucks the IFS from any '72-'87 Chevy/GMC 1/2 ton or
Suburban can be bolted on - the newer frames are 1" wider so a little shimming
is required, plus fabbing brackets for the steering box and shocks. I know of
3 guys who have done this, and I'm doing the same for the 3/4 ton (C-20 ->
3600). It's a great and inexpensive swap!
I imagine if the Task Force frame is not more than 1" wider than the Advance
Design, you're in luck. If someone can send me a Task Force frame diagram I
can compare it against the AD diagram I have and see what works.
Ride height is almost exactly stock, but track width is 4" wider then the AD
trucks. Biggest downside is the bolt pattern, but I don't know if the TF
trucks have 5- or 6-bolt and what spacing. You might grab the rear axle at
the same time just to have a matched set. Lucky for me both old and new 3/4
tons use 8-bolts with the same spacing.
E-mail me if you want more details, I've collected tons of info on this swap!
Getting ready to bolt mine on now...
