Would it be better to fit the old truck body to a newer frame? If so, which one. I want the looks and capacity of the old and performance of the new.

There have been several post.
I am doing my own conversion on a 48 6400. Obviously I am doing what I think is best for my needs. You need to find out what yours are before you will have answers as to how to build your truck. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 86 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 86 | Thanks Grigg, that was a great suggestion; I found what I was looking for. No need for anyone to post on this topic anymore.
