1968 4X4 conversion

Hey everyone, I am relatively new to this forum and I have some questions. I am in the process of putting a 68 long bed on a 77 4x4 chassis. I took 2" out of the center of the frame and boxed it. Now that the axles are rebuild and the chassis is painted I am ready to swap the body over, just one problem though. I don't know which body mount to buy; the 67-72 4x2, 67-72 4x4,74-79 4x2 or 74-79 4x4! Does anyone know what the differnece would be? I was going to compare the 77 4X4 mount to the 68 4x2 mounts, but I would really like to have the new ones when I unbolt the body. Thanks in advance for the help!

I really think it wouldn't matter. If you buy a body lift they will sell you all of the same size lift blocks anyway.

So even though they are different part #'s and differnet prices, they are probably all the same thickness and any of them would work?
