The frames are the same,spring hangers different but that doesnt matter for your question.You will need to move the t-case crossmember back,as the truck originally equipped with a rockwell t-case,had the transfer case farther forward like all these old 4wd 67-72s had as opposed to the np205 positioning,which is farther back.Keep in mind doing that a longer driveshaft will be needed too,in the front.The crossmember is the same on a 4spd and auto,it is just that the crossmember was farther forward on 69 and older trucks.
