Re: 71 body onto 97 4x4 frame

I know that there is more gap between the box and the cab when you get done. The wheelbase is longer. I was told it was 1 in. but in the pics I have seen the gap looks bigger than that. I think this can be done but with a lot of fabrication. You have to build different mounts for everything i'm assuming......never looked into it that much.

If you want it gone, just edit and delete it by using the 'User CP'

Or just go to edit on the bottom and it can be done there.
