Re: New Plans!

i personally support the idea of the cab and bed swap

if you swapped the dodge pieces to the chevy frame body
you would have to (on some nto sure on yours) relocate spring perches, hangers etc, make a new cross over steering set up (or at leas enough to make the price noticeable)
drive line lengths, tranny/ t case mount motor mounts wiring locations/mounting, will the power steering set up mesh with the dodge chevy mix?


OR you can swap the chevy cab to the dodge running gear
and really only have to worry about plumbing the cab with electrical
making new frame to cab mounts, "little things" in comparison to the list above...
might have to do some metal work to make sure the tranny hump lines up correctly (i diddnt see if either is a manual tranny)

i think it would be alot easier to put the chevy parts onto the dodge frame..

yes it's "blasphemy"to hard core brand fans..... but who cares! it's YOUR truck and i think it's cool... besides.. who the hell would expect a cummingsin a chevy?
