build thread on here for what he did to a 2wd 88 frame under a '59. he has it low but you get the idea. lots of work like ogre says. you gotta have a large area to work, friends or engine lift to help lift heavy stuff like cabs etc, tools to do the job like cut off saw, disc grinder with zip discs, measuring tools, an assortment of basic hand tools, camera for capturing how stuff came apart and fits back together, personal and shop safety items, jacks, time, ambition and stamina for when it gets technical, a fabricators mindset to figure out how the pedals etc is gonna work in your cab and, most of all, an understanding wife because it is gonna get ugly with parts everywhere and time away from the job jar and those chic flicks. a drawing of the original frame dimensions is nice as well so you at least know how the factory elevation of the mounts should look like and dimensions between mounts etc, relevant to each other. unless you jack the cab up a considerable distance from the frame you will also have some floor work in the box in order to clear the bump up in the frame over the rear axle. the same idea as a c notch for lowered trucks.

just a quick note, if you have buddies over to help, BRING OUT THE BEER AFTER THE JOB IS DONE. nothin gets done once the beer and bench racing stories start, haha.

good luck, keep us posted
