i have other posts where i discussed this but i dont want to do that much sheet metal work. there are no trucks now that have the same wheelbase measurements i would have to make the cab an extended cab or cut the bed to make it a short bed. i want the body intact and am gointo do the parts swap. i have almost a years worth of posts from when i started thinking and talking about this build with all these knowledgeable guys on here. it has transformed a thousand times already and havent even put a wrench to it.
