Is a 1987 Chevy truck frame 2 wheel drive same as 1985 4x4?

No, a 1987 Chevy truck frame for a 2WD model is not the same as a 1985 Chevy truck frame for a 4WD model. While they might share some similarities, the 4x4 frame will have significant differences to accommodate the transfer case, front axle, and associated components. These differences will include:

* Front Frame Rails: The 4x4 frame will have heavier-gauge front frame rails to support the added weight and stress of the four-wheel-drive system.

* Crossmembers: The locations and design of crossmembers will be different to accommodate the drivetrain components.

* Mounting points: There will be additional mounting points for the front axle, transfer case, and related components on the 4x4 frame.

Therefore, you cannot directly swap them. Trying to do so would require extensive modifications and likely wouldn't be practical or safe.
