Hi all. I have a 1977 3/4ton 4x4 that I have completely restored
mechanically. But the bed, cab, and nose are badly rusted. So I
bought a mint 1986 Chevy 2WD with a blown engine, and I plan to swap
all the body components to my 1977 frame. Will I encounter any
problems??? I know I'll have to cut a hole in the floor of the '86 cab
for my transfercase shifter. The gastanks are on the same side, so the
fills shouldn't be a problem. As far as I can see, it should be a
direct bolt up swap. am I overlooking anything???? Any input would
greatly be appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
