Re: Newbie needs help with project
The easiest frame swap to convert to a 4x4 would be a '60-'66 frame and running gear, as already mentioned. The second easiest would be a '67-'72 frame and running gear. To mount your body on a '73-'87 frame and running gear will require a significant amount of work. Going that way will give you about a 3" body lift. This is acceptable on a 4x4, but not on a 2wd, IMO.
What will work for you will depend on your mechanical,fabrication and welding skills.
