no, it won't fit exactly, the wheelbases differ 127 for the older and 131(?) for the newer frame assuming you are dealing with LWB the SWB are different to. there was one here in town someone did and there was a space between the cab and box, looked like sh*t and the body mounts have to be changed to fit, so just rob the goodies from the 76 in my opinion

It can be done my 69 4x4 is on a 79 frame, the mounts are not the same, you can take some of the frame out for the right wheel base, or have a gap..... its not that hard to do if you have the tools to do the job & freinds that will help......

A friend of mine had a good suggestion for using a newer 73-87 frame(119" wheel base) on a 67-72(115" wheel base). By making a new set of leaf spring on the newer frame with the center bolt of the leaf spring 4" further towards the front of the spring, and cutting 4" off the back of the frame. This gives you a 115" wheel base frame.

Sound like it would work???????

It can be done, I have 67 on 76, but we made a home made 3 inch body lift underneath it that lined up with the 67 body.
