Ok, more of my past progress. As I said in the 1st post the torsion front end was not going to cut it, I wanted it low and airbags were in the plan. There was going to be too much work to get that Gibbons crossmember off so I started looking for a new frame to slap a m2 under and basically build it up and swap over the cab and bed.
Found a good frame for $400 and 2 weeks after I brought it home I found the Rydman chassis and after mulling it over I pulled the trigger and bought it.
There were some challenges with using it as it was originally a 65 frame that was then shortened to 102” wheelbase, no biggie I can stretch it out. Next was I need cab and bed mounts and some other cutting and shuffling.
