most frankentruck projects end up dragging on, sucking money and relationships down the drain
they eventually end up on craigslist or ebay with the description of ''thousands spent all it needs is finishing''
i doubt half the builds on this forum ever get finished, strong start with big ideas soon fade away to page 50

if the truck has sentimental value do the minimal work to get it driving
then drive the wheels off it
I have seen too many of them end up like that, when ever I hear the term "Frame swap" all I see it "Money swap" "Time swap" and "Work swap" you swap these things from one frame to the other, that's all there is to it.

But leaving it stock is my vote, I know he isn't asking for a vote or our opinion, but sometimes a few words can make a difference that is for the better.
