What did you do about the floors? The 4x4 has a "hump" where the transfer case shifter goes and the 2wd doesn't? I am under the impression that on older (70's?) trucks the floor is bolted in and can be swapped but on the 80's style they are not.
I have an '85 rust free K5 to use for a body on either my '81 or '82 2wd K5 (which ever I keep) and was wondering about that. Actually, I have an '85 4x4 Cab to go on my '87 2wd swb that will have the same issue.

Thanks in advance for any info.
