Hey, way to go, you found a poor old 1 Ton soul! Yes, there isn't much left to work with. If you wanted to go for it, a different cab would be needed for starters. My project is a 1 Ton and it is really tough to see that everything including brake drums are available for 1/2 Tons, but not for 1 Tons. However, I like my truck and I like the open driveshaft.
