The crossmembers are basically similar from 63-87 (disc brakes started in 71), and they do bolt in. This would certainly be a cheap/easy way to get an IFS in a TF truck if it would work, but I have never heard of anyone actually doing this before. It couldn't hurt to take some measurements at least to see if the frame rail spacing is the same.
