Frame Swap question

I have been considering swapping my 72 GMC over to a new model late 70's early 80's 4x4 frame since they seem a bit more plentiful. What issues will I run into and what is required?? I know the cab mounts will have to be moved but what else? Oh and if you have pics that would be Freakin awesome!! Especially of the cab mounts being moved.

I am moving this to the 4x4 forum. I think you will get a better response there.

Re: Frame Swap question

The wheelbases on long and shotbeds are somewhat different which means some frame cutting.

Re: Frame Swap question

Monte, are you still considering swapping to a later model frame? How plausible is it?
