Frame Differences
 

Quick question - I want to put a 73-80 cab and front clip on a 81-87 frame. My understanding is that you need to use the mounts that go with the frame. Any other differences that I would run into, or is that it? New to these squares and I want to make sure before pulling the trigger on the frame!

Thanks

Unless you're willing to do some fabrication, the front bumper will need to stay with the frame. The frame horns are different where the bumper attaches.

Parking brake cabe routing is different as well.

I put a 75 body on an 80's frame. Two of the bolt holes for the bed didnt line up but it was easy enough to drill the holes into the frame. I suspect a 73-74 bed would also have the same issue.
