Search not working, trying to find frame swap info...

[danheit]

Hey guys, I've tried several times to search this but keep getting the memory allocation warning. Can anyone point me in the direction of a frame swap thread? Trying to see how involved it will really be. I have a long bed and am wanting to go short bed. I normally wouldn't care, but my actual bed is in rougher shape than I would like (dents in bed sides and rust in the floor and supports). I can get a shortbed frame pretty easily for free, but I am not sure if it makes any difference what year it's from (67-69 vs my 71), and it will also make it easier going to a 700R4 and a one piece driveshaft. I know it will be lots of work, but I'm really wanting to see how involved it is, and see what else I'm not thinking of as far as cost and parts go. I know I will be doing all new brake lines, probably new fuel lines, will need a bed, and some other minor stuff. My long bed is 100% complete though, so I shouldn't have too many problems. Of the few frames I have to choose from, they are pretty complete. The only thing I can come up with that will be different in the frames is the indention for the power steering box.
