a 70's frame question

a buddy of mine has a 72 shortbox 2 wheel parts truck with coil springs. he was wondering if the frame is already drilled for leaf spring mounts, cause he wants to build a 4 wheeler out of it.
i told him i am not sure, but think it is not set up for leafs. but knew someone here would know.

Nope, front isn't set up for that on the two wheelers.

I would rather run coils up front anyways. Personal preference

First F100 4WD w/front coil springs: 1966.

The 4WD frame is not the same as the 2WD frame. regardless of what year the truck is.
