Thinking about combining 2 trucks
So, i have a 1994 f150 300/6 5 speed and i love it. BUT, i just found this on craigs list and its a hell of a steal! 92 F150 302 V8
Hers my thaughts, i cant part ways with my truck, i just cant. The body on my 94 is bad. Its rusty, dented to **** and not a panel on it (besides the fiberglass hood) that any amount of bondo can probably save BUT the drivetrain and everything mechanical is 100% sound.
I was thinking that because this 92 is 4x4 and has power windows and what not, and has a near perfect body but not so much drivetrain, i can use the 92 as the base and take the 5 speed from my 94 and put it in there, as well as the 6 and basically combine 2 trucks into one awesome truck.
Whats your guys`s opinion?
My moms gonna kill me for bringin another truck home lol

Only auto to stick conversion i did was on a 79 gmc, havent done a ford. Id grab that truck either way, could always sell me the box for my 95 
, unfortunately i live in the rust belt so a clean body like that is tough to find.

Yup, as far as the bed goes your better off just finding a rust free one, For now im letting the body go on my 95 while i make drivetrain improvements. 3.55 gears and open diffs are not gonna cut it off road.
