I can tell ya for sure the cab and front clip are going to bolt on with no modifications (Because that's all the further I've gotten putting a '67 body on a 74) but it seems to me that I've read a couple times here the bed may require a little drilling.

measure the width of the rear frame I bet on your older truck it;s the same width as your 77 f-250 if it;s an early highboy style frame width was one of the things changed in 73 for the rear fuel tank on all trucks except the f-250 4x4,s thyey didn't get the frame change till mid-year 77 hence the 77.5 model desination you see referd to all the time
