I'm drawing up plans for a wooden cart to put my 2WD body on so I can move it around and finally get rid of the 2WD frame. This body is going onto my 70 4WD frame. None of the measurements seem to make sense.

Is there a difference between a 2WD and 4WD body? I know the frames are different because of the rear coils on the 2WD and the leafs on the 4WD. I would have thought the frame mounts would be in the same spots.

I laid a 16 foot 2 X 12 on the frame mounts of my 4WD frame. When I held it on the two front cab mounts I marked the locations and elevation differences for the middle mount and the rear two mounting locations. On my board the front two mounts and the rear two mounting locations are on the same plane. The only difference is the center mount just in front of the rear suspension which is two inches higher.

What is confusing me is that crawling under my 2WD body and frame it looks like a noticeable difference between the front two mount locations and the rear mount locations where the plywood floor is higher than the cab floor.


Does any of this make sense?
