Is the truck a long bed or short bed? The long bed 67-72 have a 127" wheel base, the 73-87 long beds have a 133" wheelbase. I'm not sure on the short beds. Also the cab mounts will have to be changed and alot of guys say you'll have to install a body lift to help on clearance issues...

It's a shame you're not closer, I have a 2 wheel drive that I would love to make a 4x4...
