I've got what should be a simple question. I have a 59 3/4 ton that I would like to convert to a short wheelbase 1/2 ton by swapping the body over to another chassis. I'm assuming the chassis from any year Task Force 55 2nd through 59 should work. Am I correct?
Thanks, John | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | sort of - the only difference is the 58/9 frame is about 2" longer than the 55-7 at the front because of the gravel pan right behind the bumper, so your front sheet metal will stick out too far to use the normal bumper brackets - I put a 57 front on a 58 frame and this shows how much had to be cut off - you hafta add on that much Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 128 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 128 | Thanks Bill, exactly what I needed to know.
