Will this work
I have access to a 76 4wd chassis. Will my 71 body and bed fit this chassis?

Re: Will this work
with modification to the 76, yes, it should fit.

Re: Will this work
I tried this before, there is a difference in wheelbase. I can't remember which way it goes though.

Re: Will this work
I think you'd be in for a lot of work, not just a simple bolt and go deal.

Re: Will this work
assuming LWB, the 76 is a 131 inch wheel base verses the 127 on the 71.
You'll have to relocate the rear axle, since the frame isn't flat like the 71, you'll have to make a custom lift kit to lift the cab up to the bed possibly fab up all the cab/core support mounts It's doable, and has been done. Mudder has a square body frame under his red stepside. |
