69-79 swap?

Hey guys quick question. I have a line on a mint 69 f250 2wd cab, front fenders, hood, grill, ect. Everything minus the bed. Will this bolt directly to a 79 f250 4x4 chassis? And if not is it a pretty simple swap?
Thanks, JW 66f250:

Pretty much. The bed won't go straight on, there will be a gap behind the cab and the rear frame is wider on the later truck, but the rear cab mounts forward should be similar enough to work.

Great. I was going to go with an aluminum flat bed any ways.
Thanks.
