Re: Shop Truck refurb, code name Chaser

It was actually a real challenge to find a good used frame for this one. Since it is a regular cab short bed, it limited us. Add in the age of the truck, and the fact scrap recently got fairly high, most yards had already crushed most of them. It took us 4 tries to get a good one, first 3 had damage all the way up in to the center box.
We love frame swaps, but more times than not they do total out from it. Usually people are eager to get rid of their 5 year old truck with 150k miles on it though.
