so yea since the wheelbase is only .4 inches off i think ima gonna do this body swap on a 1984-1985 x-cab or longbed 4wd frame. sounds ike cake if you ask me.
i dont see what the big issue would be........ slap some new body mounts in, reweld the rear spring perches and you are good to go you gain a better frame, SFA, and a better overall package...... its total win situation
