1978 k5 frame fit on 1973-1975 body
 

Hi would a 1978 k5 4x4 frame fit on a 1973-1975 k5 body????:confused:

Re: 1978 k5 frame fit on 1973-1975 body
 

No, it wont fit. the 4x4 thing is not the problem the problem is, in 1976 the changed the passenger footwell to provide more room so the frame on the 78 kicks way up just behind the drivers seat and on the 73-75 that area is more flat.

Sorry dude...

is it hard to mods the the frame or tub.

Nope, that frame change was in '78, that's when they gave the back seat passengers more foot room.

The earlier body will fit on the later frame but not vice versa, the frame on the early ones rises directly behind the driver and there's not room for the bigger footwell of the '78 & up.
