Hello, Considering a future task force LCF project and wanted to start gathering parts. I have located a couple LCF trucks. The plan is to build crew cab LCF truck to pull a 5th wheel camper. The crew cab part may seem like the hard part but I already have that figured out and a lot of the parts fabricated for another project that I changed my mind on. The plan is to use a late model diesel chassis. My questions is, has anyone used a late model chassis on one of these trucks? Would it be easier to swap axles and power plant to the old frame? What axles would be the correct width? Looking to purchase a complete donor truck so I have all the parts from the same truck (less issues for replacment parts in the future). Wife put a budget cap of 25K for the project so it should be do able. 22K for parts and 3k for paint and interior. I have been looking at International and ford box trucks as possible doners. Any information would be apreciated.
