Just wondering but is it possible and how much work would be involved to swap my 69 swb onto a late 70's early 8's 4x4 frame? I am tossing around the idea of converting to a 4x4 and was wondering if this option would be easier or cheaper?
thanks, travis

You'll have to make your own lift kit to compinsate for the not flat frame, and relocate the rear end due to wheel base differances.
