New build in the making.
Hey guys,
Haven't been around for a while. After lifting my 72 I was pretty happy with it, I purchased a miata, turbo'd it and have been working on that way too much. But I've been itching to start working on my truck again. And I think I finally came up with an idea I like. Now whether it works is a whole different story
I have a line on a mid 90's single cab long bed 7.3 powerstroke, hopefully on the cheap. I think you see where this is going. Engine swap? Nope, I want to to a body swap onto the 7.3 frame.
Couple reasons. The 7.3 has a stronger drivetrain and suspension to support the weight and power. I want a 3/4 ton truck. If I end up towing I want to frame to support anything I need and I think the 7.3 will be better.
I've found a couple threads on this, and although it won't be easy I think I can make it work.
Any advice, comments, info is appreciated!!!
