Frame Swap

Ok so I've read up on the 73-80 frames and the 81-87 frame and body interchangeability. I get that a body from the 81 series on will fit the 80 and older frames as long as I use body mounts that are specific to the frame. My question is does this apply in reverse? If I were to mount a 75 swb 4x4 body on a 81 swb 4x4 frame do I follow the same directions? Change body mounts to match the frame? Thanks for your help.

Re: Frame Swap

Is there going to be any other issues that might come up as a result of using the original 75 running gear?

Re: Frame Swap

If you give us more detailes on the all the parts and years they came from it would be a little easier for us to answer that.
