Question ? will a 83 body mount up on
Question ? will a 83 long bed 2wd body mount up on a 1975 4x4 frame ?? I have a buddy who want to do this as his 75 is a total rust bucket but runs good and the 4x4 works His 83 is clean as a whistle but it's a 305 and auto tranny are both shot. He got this cleaver Idea when I asked him for help doing mine
![]() Let me know his 75 is a 4 speed so I assume we can switch over the pedels and such without issues. |

Yes it will swap. You will need the removable tranny hump from the '75. Might also want to check with the DMV, this is illegal in places. An '83 and a '75 have the VIN located in different places.

Well I know you can take it to the state and they inspect it and give it a special id # . So I know that part is ok.
so Take the tranny hump and then cut the floor in the 83 and bolt it bdown everything else fits?? |

You'll have to use 81-87 cab bushings to make the cab set level on the frame. I also used a 2" body lift to help the 2wd cab clear the transfer case.
