    ok, I have 2 trucks,81 1/2ton long bed 350 auto 4X4, and a 78 3/4ton long bed 400auto 4X4. Im thinking of taking the body off the 78 and putting the 81 body on to it, I love the body line of the 81 over the 78. the Q is will the body mounts and everything match up or will it take 10 years to make everything line-up? }>

    They should match up fine, but I'd leave the 78 body on there, I think that the 81-82 grille isn't that pretty but that's just me. Those 70's front ends look pretty sharp I think.
