2002 frame question

[izzy_Britton]

if the extra cab is a 2500 HD like your crew cab, then YES you can replace just the front section of the frame. this is not a simple fix but it is doable. you pretty much need to remove the body and all the running gear from your truck to do it properly and you need to be proficient with a welder and a good grinder.

depending upon how much $$ they are asking for that extra cab chassis and depending upon where you are, you might have better luck just doing a complete frame swap. a little more time consuming but ultimately the best way.

the biggest issue i would see with replacing just the front frame section is knowing if your frame is square and not diamond'd, meaning that the frame rails are perfectly parallel and one is not pushed back a little creating a diamond shape between crossmembers.
