i posed on here b4 about a 4x4 swap of my 1980 f100 well i found a new 4x4 frame like suggested its a 1980 f100 4x4 but its full size and the body i got is a single cab step side and was woundering how well my body will fit on a full size frame

are the wheel bases the same do you know cause dont want to  have to move the rar axle i dont really have the tools do that i got basic hand tools and a set of torchs lol ive tried looking it up but i cant find it anywere

Your truck IS a full size, but like mentioned it appears the frame is for a long box. The wheelbases are NOT the same so the frame and axle would have to be modified.

its not hard to shorten the frame. do you have a welder? that is the only thing you need besides a sawsall.
