81 Body on a 77 frame

Can someone tell me if an 81 C10 body would go on a 77 frame? I'm almost positive it will work but just want to make sure there aren't any issues that I will need to address. I'm looking at trading my 98 Z71 for a 77 truck that I can use to place my 81 body. Thanks in advance for the help.

Itll go on the frame just gotta use the 77 body mounts and you may have to adjust the front mounts on the core support but overall its a direct fit.
thanks

The front frame horns will need to be cut for the newer bumper brackets.
