I wonder what it looks like with a bed on it...I have seen many a project go along smoothly until it reaches the "oh ****" point and then it's on the auction block. Looking at those frame rails, both height and width, makes me a little leery about whether that truck can be made to "look right" with that chassis swap.

I saw that, and looking at the pictures I said oh oh, another "easy" frame swap gone bad. Looks like the frame will take up most of the inside of the bed, and the wheelbase might also be an issue.

I agree on the oh **** point after seeing what they did to the cab so the frame would fit.
