All the holes aren't there, but it's not hard to drill the ones that aren't. If the 2wd frame has rear leaf, you're a step ahead. One of the PITA things on my 68 was flattening out the dimples in the front where the e-brake cables go through. The other was that the 2wd rear end spring hangers are shorter and it took a 4" block to make it sit level with the stock 4X4 front springs.
The 4X4 power steering box bolted right up on mine.
