as far as the frame assembly, you are right, they are different. the spring mounts are different, as are the body mounts on the front, and the obvious lack of leaf spring mounts on the front of a 2wd truck.

when it comes to the breakdown, the rail itself, not the perches and mounts attached to it are 100% identical. this is why converting a 2wd truck to 4wd is so easy, the holes are already there. i have been trying for years to get ahold of a GM Parts catalog, but they are nearly impossible to find.
