Isn't there a difference in the floor pans? (I think the floor kicks up right in front of the rear seat??) I don't remember what year they made the change, (maybe '76 when they went to the half top, instead of the full roof like the '73-'75 models.),... but could make a difference when you swap bodies. What year is the 2wd?

muddyole 69 · 12-26-2006, 12:07 AM

76 I believe I truthfully never checked as I would be getting it out of a local junkyard and with no title I will do some more research on this as I am not up on all of the points to be considered on this swap thank you for the input Mike

Mike, there is a difference in the floor pan. I have a '73 that I recently picked up. The po took out the wheel tubs and fuel line protector to put in a homemade camper.No limits to what a po will do. I picked up a '78 for parts and noticed the pan difference. The cab mounts appear to be the same though. Plenty of rust free tubs 76-91 going to the scrappers out here. It's a little bit of a drive though lol..........Rick
