I have convinced myself to put my 71 lwb body onto a newer 4x4 frame. I have found a 2006 GMC with 5.3 engine. The truck has been rolled. As long as the frame was in good shape, I don't see why this would not be possible. Here is a pic of the truck. The truck can be viewed here.

I know this will involve shortening the frame, and a considerable amount of work. I thing the pay offs will be well worth it.
I will be bidding on this Wednesday. If anyone has any last minute comments as to why or why not, please don't hesitate to reply.
I am hoping to get this for under $2500.
Thanks
Jason
