Whats the easiest, least expensive option for him?
Hes working in a one car garage, with no welder and usual basic tools. I know Im asking alot, but I told him Id ask.
Plus the goofball wants to sell his fleetside bed for a stepside!?!?? Im trying to talk him out of that...  |
I don't know about least expensive...you'd need a welder to subframe it, mustang II it, or C4 it. That pretty much means a frame swap. There are a couple of guys here who have done that with 73-87 and 88-98 frames but you'd still need to fab and weld up mounts for cab and bed. Farming the welding out to someone else means more cost. Seems like modifying the the stock setup would be cheapest.
