chassis lengths
i have a 79 2wd supercab shortbed with a 460 and c-6. I was wanting to know if the body would bolt on a 4x4 regular cab long bed frame. would you have to move mounts or is it just impossible thanks ron

Check what your wheel base is on your truck. A reg cab/long box is a 133" wheel base. Another thing to consider is that the frame rises once it passes the cab. So even if the wheel base is the same (although I think the supercab wheel base is somehwere in the 138" area), the frame on the 4x4 chassis will be rising in the back portion of the supercab. It could be done, but a lot of fabbing will be neccesary.
