4 X 4 donor truck question

[jwilly]

will a 79 4 X 4 donor work for me as a donor on my 65 2 wheel drive?

I think you should be able to use parts but only the 65-66 cabs bolt on... the cab mounts are different on the 61-64's... help me out here guys.....

The '79 would be great for a body / frame swap, though there are differences in the wheelbases. The '65 body will bolt onto the '79 frame.
Pretty sure the 2wd and the 4x4 frames are different and would lead to problems trying to swap suspension and drivetrain components.
