Body swap question
 
Love the 79, but been thinking with all the stuff on Craiglist, how hard would it be to swap a 55-59 body, front clip and bed onto the frame?

Thanks man. This will be helpful in the future. In the mean time I'm keeping my 79 the way she is. I reconsidered it while I was out driving around. I love her the way she is.

Or you could buy another roller frame and use that to swap bodies on.

Man would this work for the '54 bull nose? That is so my dream truck.

They have a kit for that but it uses a s10 frame not a full size truck.
