Re: Curious on future build?

I think If I wanted to put one on a later full size 4x4 chassis I'd get the cab and nose off a 4000 series AD = 1-1/2 or 2 ton that has wider and taller fenders and bigger wheel openings and use it and then find the bed I wanted to run and possibly widen the rear fenders. That would give you a truck that had the right proportions.
It would probably save some money over buying a complete 3/4 ton long bed and swapping stuff too as the bigger trucks are usually pretty reasonable if the engine is dead or gone and the body is still good.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
