Any diffrence between the two....only thing I noticed was the frame rails where the motor mounts are bolted in....

if you are wanting to put a 67 - 72 body on a 2 wheel drive 73 - 87, then you need to look at how flat the old frame is, and how flat the newer frame isn't. you'd need to do a body lift to make the old body fit, and it would look kinda.. well, dumb. You can pull it off on a 4X4, but not a 2 wheeler.

Might want to measure wheelbase, I believe the 79 is different.
