Re: Let's Build A 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4

The more I look at the frame on the 78, the less likely I feel like I will be using it. It may be a better option to swap it onto the 88 frame which still looks like new with the chalk marks on it from the factory and even the factory paint still on it.

Plus I plan on putting a headgasket on the 88 tan crew and running that 350TBI setup while I build the diesel. I just need to decide if I will use the th350 trans from the 78 or try and find another route, I will definitely want some kind of overdrive trans.

Any real insight on just swapping the 4x4 stuff over to the 88 2wd frame? I know I can buy the front rad support 4x4 mounts from diy4x or lmc just trying to figure out what else will be a hassle.
