don't know where else to ask about this

Post by erikd428 »

Hi ya'll
Been a while since I have been on here. But I have been looking around a little at the builds you guys have going on, and was wondering in particular if anyone has info on doing a bumpside cab and bed swap on to the next gen chassis (80-96).

I have 2 decent candidates in mind to make it happen. but they aren't currently right in front of me to visually inspect them, and won't be for a while. So I thought I'd ask since I couldn't find, if anyone has an example of this swap. thanks for your help

I know its not a 2wd but it had twin traction beam and those will interchange between the 2. and the truck chassis may be easier due to having rear cab mounts already and rear frame rails don't hump up as much but the front cab mounts bolted right in. You may just have to be the first.
