Differences in a 75 to 81 frame?
I know the rear suspension is different but are the body mounts in the same location? I came across a very nice 75 4 speed rolling frame today. I would like to swap out to the pre 80 suspension, But if possible use the whole frame.. Thanks

I posed the same question to the forum recently and, if I remember correctly, the mounts work out in all the right places. The only significant difference is the crossmember for the differential mounting.

Rear half of the frame is also different to allow for fuel tank position under the big back window.
