It's easier to find a 4x4 frame and swap your body.

You might wanna start looking out west, there aren't hardly any 70's ford trucks left out there, and the 67-72 is a highly valuable truck.

Well your 77 body will bolt onto any 73-79 frame. Is your truck and early 77 (highboy w/34" frame) or a 77 1/2 (38" frame). If it's a 73-77 and you plan on using any of your rear end parts (rear end, springs) you won't be able to use them. Atleast without modification
