Is it a 4x4 ? I think that 4x4 would be the same as the 2WD set up, except that the frame is thicker set up to be a 4x4 "but have the same trans set up or you some brackets to make or get".( auto/manual)
73-80 81-87
2WD Front the bumper & bumper mounts different 73-80 Cab mounts form the E-Brake mounts 81-87
other then that same frames.

OK found this out :
The cabs will be the same but the mounts on the frame are different from 2WD to 4WD.
In the cab change the 4wd cabs have a larger hump in the middle for the transfer case. I put a 84 model cab on an 75 frame and you have to have a about 2 inch body lift and the back mounts are different just build about a 1 and a 1/2 inch more spacer and everything lines up fine.
Hope that helps you. try to find 4x4 mounts

UPDATE :
GOTTA PARTS TRUCK 86 WRANGLER
in the process of stripping it , i am about a month behind due to being buzy / lazy , n other junk happening to the truck so to save money .... i invested 150 bucks into racing games to help keep me from spending money n attempting to have a 1 night stand .....
so far i got the front engine bay area all torn down , now i gotta find spots to store the junk .....
wat i need to do now is :
unbolt the mounts 4 the box n cab ( 1 - 2 day job being alone with no help)
rip down the gas tank,(is it possible to hack my current box to accept dual gas tanks ?)
rip appart the bumper

Well I would like to know why you can not have duels on your truck. does your truck have something on the bottom stop you from bolting up two tanks in the left& right side. All you have to do is get tank for the right side and brackets & straps, filler nick.
