What are her plans for it when you two get started on it?

*Slams_58* · 05-26-2003, 11:23 AM

I wanna get a different chassis...I want a short step...if I can find a decent bed. We might cut this frame...but I'd rather jsut find a shorty instead...less headache.

If I can find a shorty frame, we will cut this one into a trailer and put my 72 bed on it. If not, we will cut the frame into a shorty and find a nice stepside box for it. I also wanna lower it 2" in the front and 4" in the back, drop in a nice small block with a manual tranny.

You better put a 4x4 chassis under it if you still have snow at the end of May

Oh, that pic was taken in March of 2001. I posted some newer pics of it on a different topic

Speaking of short frames, and making it a 4x4, how often do short 4x4 frames / rolling chassis come up for sale? Did they make fewer 4x4's than 2WD's, or are they just not as available? Just a question...
