Re: 72 cab & front clip on 75 frame?

I done this to my very first truck. Took a 72' shortbed and cut down a 73 3/4 ton 4x4 truck and mated the two. You will need to use all the body mounts off your other pickup, take measurments of where they are. Cut them off and reweld them or bolt them to the newer frame. That and you may need a body lift to pull it off, I can't remember. The bed will really need worked to fit. If I would have to do it all over again and still had that truck, I would rethink about modifying the 2wd frame with the 75 parts. Either way, there are a couple of people on here that have done it. If wanting to put your body on a later frame, contact MUDDER on here. Another thing, there is a guy on here on the 4wd section that is doing this as well. Trevor
