2-wheel drive body on 4x4 frame???
Does a 67-72 body bolt directly on to a 73-87 4x4 frame? If the truck body was originally a 2-wheel drive truck what problems would arise?

Mudder67 is the man to talk to, he has done this swap. The body should be the same whether it was 2wd or 4wd. The frame is what is different between the two.

Would it make a difference if the cab body was a low hump? I thought all 4x4's had high hump cabs.

4X4s do have the high-hump.

A body lift would solve the clearance issues of a low hump cab on a 4x4 frame

cut out the low hump and bolt in a high hump. That's what I did on the 71.
