So how would I put a 6.5 bed on a 90 250 with a dt360 and a fso6!!! And a divorced 205 ?? I do mud and light trails nothing to hard some rocks and like Moab hills none of this rocky mountain boulder crawling **** and what compounds sticking with the original plan I'll read further back I'm sure one of these pages has it

Just some plate steel in a diamond shape to spread out the load. Possibly box in that section for even more help. That's why it would probably be easier to use a half ton shorty, then add big axles to it.

Dale I think we are missing 2 critical points I want this to be a daily so it can not be more than a 6 month build and 2 I'm not very financially wealthy we need to keep it unique and cheap I'd assume a new f150 chassis is not cheap

1994 FORD F150 XLT NEED SOLD
1994 F150 XLT 5.0 4x4
$1650 and $2200 arent too bad. I did mention the half ton with beefy axles. It may cost a little more to get the axles you need, vs just getting an F250, but down time will be much less when you arent chopping up the frame. A lot of $$$ in labor too. Either one of those trucks will run while collecting the goodies. A 94-ish F150 is certainly unsuspecting.
