Re: Frame Swap Questions?
Bed isn't too bad some surface rust, but the PO cut the dash out and ripped all the wiring out. Pretty much gutted it. Was originally a diesel but someone put a 350 in it. But the frame doesn't have any rust I can find.

Re: Frame Swap Questions?
what i think is : do not swap the frames..just swap the front and back suspensions and you will get smooth ride,sure if the 87 frame restoreable.
good luck

Re: Frame Swap Questions?
So putting the 1 ton frame under my 3/4 ton. Any other Pro's or Con's other the stronger axle and bigger brakes? And of course less rust.
