Also, can someone tell me what donor trucks I can use for the conversion, because I cant afford to buy a new kit, like Mustang II? I'm not the greatest welder, so doing a clip is out.

Closest to a "bolt in" will be the '73-'87 Chevy full size truck, as the crossmember for suspension can be taken out of the donor truck in one peice. it would need narrowed to fit the TF chassis, plue you would need to fabricate steering box and idler arm mounts.
