body swap

Will a 68 f100 4x4 suspension fit a 1960 f100 custom cab body? Need to know because I would like to turn the 1960 into a 4x4

Fit as in direct bolt up?? NO.

I would work on making the 60 steetmetal fit the 68 chassis. From what I have read that is a easier work around, plus the mechanical part that counts hasn't been compremised.

It is possible to do this, but it is a major job with a lot of modifications. When you are done the truck looks like it has had a body lift, and you will have had to cut the frame twice or more.

Lots of people look at doing this - and, so far, all have decided not to. But given time and money and tools you can make anything work.
