I started out with a 73 short bed with a [found out later] bad cab. Today on craigslist I picked up a redone 79 lwb diesel converted to gas with a bad motor. Time to take the motor out of the 73 and put it into the 79?? Or swap bodys anyway it was a good day. I will post pictures.

Well the olds motor is out. The chevy is swapped over just waiting for the ac brackets from texas. Now I have a 73 frame in great shape swb bed and front clip. What other body will fit that frame or just put it on craigslist. Pics to follow of 79.
