3/4 ton status
After more research, this is what I found. Frame rails are identical in dimension, just holes added/removed depending on 2WD vs 4WD. The front crossmember is different. People use 4x4 and convert them to 2WD all the time, just swap front suspension part and rear spring hanger over. Here's a link of someone who did a conversion (disregard the fact that one's a Blazer and the other a pickup
):http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=168231
And I found another link for the frame dimension specs, this is the one I see everyone referring to:

See above link.
So in short, unless someone went through a lot of work, to check for a 2WD frame I'd check for the holes where the front suspension mounts to and the front crossmember.
I'm here.
I found out the frail rails are different actually but not much of significant importance. Where the rear shackle would bolt up the arch of the rails are different.
The entire ifs assembly is only held in by say 10 bolts?

2wd frames have a dimple in then that 4x4 frames do not.

When I did my crew, once they front crap was out of the way, first glance couldn't tell it was a 2wd frame. I used the B52 kit, and only issue I had was a stock 4wd crossmember wouldn't work, was too tall. I tried a 1/2 and 1 ton, but were the same thing. I changed both hangers out back, used a 1/2 ton shackle for the poor man's flip....so can't comment on the holes....
On a side note, if you search my s/n on google, my crew will come up. There were a couple pics of the front suspension pretty much complete laying on the ground.
