Your Wife thinks just like my Wife! I'm Nuts too! lol, How nice is the 65 you are wanting to do this to? Not that it Matters....
I have had it for over 20yrs it was restored in 88 and I have taken good care of her.so as far as body work its just swaping the body over to the new drive train.she will kill me for the powerstroke price tag.my wife that is.to many parts sitting around and big idea's in my head.

why try to mate up 3 trucks...why not just take the 65 and put the body on the PSD frame? i bet it would be a lot less work that way.....but i like how you think!
