67-72 body on 1980 frame
Since I'll probably never find a 1/2 ton 4x4 SWB for a reasonable price, I'm thinking of buying a 1980 (350/350/NP205) 1/2 ton 4x4 with a trashed body, and replacing it with a clean 67-72 body. How difficult would it be? I know some of you have already done this, so any advice would be appreciated.

What Ive heard about these frames is that you need to beef up the area where the steering box bolts up. They sell a plate for it.
