potential swb project, need opinions!
Hey yall, A few months ago i picked up an 84 GMC LWB high sierra, it runs really good and has a pretty straight body, interior is decent. I recently sunk about 750 dollars into the truck buying tires and a billet grill. But I dont care much for longbeds.
Tomorow I am supposed to be taking delivery of an 86 chevy shortbed, with a very clean front clip, doors, bed, and tailgate. but, it doesnt have a motor/tranny and the cab is set up for a manual trans (hole in floor, etc) Now the delimma. I am really considering pulling apart the SWB, Painting the frame, Pulling apart my LWB, and robbing the motor, trans, wheels, tires, entire cab and billet grill, swapping all parts onto the fresh SWB frame, repainting the whole truck so I can enjoy having a SWB, then simply selling whats left as parts. Should I do it? It will Basically be a Frame-off, since Ill be swapping cabs. It wont cost me hardly anything. Im more than capable of performing the swap, im just not sure if I want to yet... Opinions please!
