I have 2 k5's. First is a 1981 2wd and the second is an 85 diesel 4x4. Im trading bodies because my 2wd needs to be super clean and not having to smog it is a bonus.
i need to know what all i need to keep from the diesel truck to make sure its still funtioning after the bodies are swapped. Do i need to swap the hydroboost or can i use the power booster with the diesel? is the wiring different? anything else that makes them different?
