Will the Body Fit?
I have a '72 4x4 that is showing bad rust among other body damage. My hope was to find a 2wd for cheap and change the bed, cab, and front clip over (I have seen them rust free with no engine or tranny for about $700). I had read somewhere, cannot remember where, that in '73 the frame was slightly changed and was made wider. Is this true? What model years will fit my rig?
