Re: anybody

My thought is that the 99 frame has some curves in it that our frames don't have which makes the job very difficult. Another is that none of the body/bed mounting points are in the right places so extensive modification and lots of welding will have to be done to make it work. I'm sure that with enough sweat, money and engineering it can be done, but is it really worth all that effort?
