I've never done one, but I have:

'84 F-250 4x4 6.9L with the T-19 manual. Body is beat up pretty bad.

I was going to replace the bed, tailgate, fender, windshield, and door, and then spraypaint the truck.

But then I found an '86 F-150 with a bad engine on craigslist that appears to have a good body on it.

I know the front clip and the bed won't take long, but how long with the cab swap?

I'm pretty certain I have all the necessary tools. I also have a cordless impact gun which should help speed things up.

I'm not worried about the VIN issue. I'll do whatever I need to do in that regard.

Thanks
