Phase 1 Quick and Cheap.
Several years ago I bought a Suburban body on a rolling frame to build a crew cab. The frame had been converted to 4x4 and was powder coated. The plans for the crew cab are to set the body on a late model truck frame. So I stole the powdercoated 4x4 frame from the Surburban for this truck. To make it fit under the pick-up we had to move the some of the cab mounts around and drill holes for the bed to mount. We also cut a few inches off of the back of the frame so the bed would fit. The wheel base was off around 2 inches but we fixed this with later model longer springs and moved some things around. We installed a 305, 350 turbo and 205 transfer case. I picked up some 3/4 ton rearends from a buddy and we had the truck running and driving in around 3 weeks.
