its about to have a new tranny put into it sometime in the next two weeks i then plan on fixin some stuff so that its running perfect, like the brakes and heater and power steering pump.

and when spring comes around im going to sand her all down and primer her, also going to redo the interior and lower her a couple inchs. i dont want it slammed but lowered on some nice wide whels/tires so it has that raked stance that looks so mean.

gonna install a custom system in it also.


the one thing ive been wondering though.... i have a long bed on there right now, can i put a shortbed on or is my chassis actually longer?

Welcome from Oklahoma!

I believe you would need to shorten the frame and driveshaft to switch beds.
