Hello, Tyler. Welcome to the Bolt! Glad you could find a decent ride. I would personally at least think about what the guys here are saying re the 1-ton. It's your truck, do what you want, but there are enough people around looking for (at least) the parts from a 1-ton, if not the whole truck. However, if the body is good I can't see a reason for not finding a good 1/2T frame to start your mods on, then move the cab and front clip. You might even be able to sell what remains for enough to pay for a new bed.
The guys who want the big stuff know the problems that come with them and love them anyway. If you want a 1/2 ton, build one.
Good luck and good hunting.
Peter

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
