you have to be able to link to your photo, so you will need an online facility such as photobucket
it is a lot simpler to install the later axles than it is to shorten a frame and fabricate body mounting, you also have all of your original vin # that correspond between frame and body by just changing driveline.
you can usually spot a later frame under these trucks quite easily as the wheels are not usually centred due to a difference in w/base.
If you are looking at a converted one, make sure that they have done the proper documentation of vin# with the local MVB. if not and you ever get it chked(which can happen if you are ever in an accident).a couple of thinks can happen depending on area. void your insurance and or confiscation of the truck upon proper registration. the frame(which also has a vin# and perhaps came out of a stolen vehicle)from another must be registered, but usually upon doing this there is usually an inspection done by the MVB . it cost money(the inspection) and they more than likely will not approve it unless everything is done properly.
buyer beware!!
there are also a lot of 2 wheel drive trucks out there with cab or frame changes that are also not registered propery.
