So upon closer inspection of my 74' I noticed some cracks, bends, and poor quality repairs on the front section of the frame do to some custom shock brackets.
So now I'm looking into replacement frames, and I got a line on an 80' for a good price but a long drive.

My question...
Will my 74' mount up onto the 80' frame without much drama or has something changed throughout those years? I know something in the bed area changed in 78' but I'm uncertain if that includes the frame. Also I believe the bumper mounts changed at some point as well, but I'm not to concerned with that because I figured custom tube bumpers would be my route anyways.
 
So the frames are different. All but two mounts will line up. Does anyone know if those could just be replaced with the mounts I have currently on the frame?
