Body mounts totally diff...so is wiring...if u can fab it is doable

its not even much fab work, (dont consider this fab work)
the cab should be mounted with brackets that are riveted to the frame.
cut brackets off, relocate them, done.
the box mounts, are nothing more than a few drill holes away.
bumpers and steering are going to be the worst of it.
borgensen u-joints and double D steering shaft make that an easy task

That's what I thought going to look at it first see how rusty it is first

The 80-up frames are too wide for the 70's bodies.
