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.
