Re: 3/4 ton axles

Captainfab hits the nail on the head again. Its a lot of work. I would say considerably more than using what you already have.

Not saying that it can't be done or done well but there are hundreds of well intentioned guys out there that go this route only to ruin 2 vehicles.

Ive personally a cab / bed swapped truck with the intention of "making it right" only to realize that I didn't have the time, money or on point fab skills necessary to complete it in a timeframe that would allow me to actually safely drive it someday.

Heck, even with all the planning that I did with the '63s spring swap, it still spent the better part of 3 mos in the garage torn apart.

Darn job always gets in the way of my fun!
