Lightbulb 70 f250

a buddy of mine bought a 70 f250 4wd 4spd and ive been told that since its a hiboy the frame is narrower than normal

but the body is toast so he wants to buy an 88 f250 (that couldnt swim)(OOOPPS) just for the body and i was wonderin if the body swap would work easy or no cuz i have a gut feeling i will have to do it

any help would be nice

thanks yall

Sam, Short answer NO, but anything is possible with enough money thrown at it. I was looking at my 89 Bronco chassis this past sunday, and found the rails are a lot wider. While some holes are close measure, others are not.

If you are a highly skilled metal wizzard go for it, just handy around trucks ya might want to pass on it.
