Help with a body swap?
Any of you guys swap the body from a wide frame (78/79) onto a narrow frame (Mine being a 75 F250 4X4)? I got a 1978 Body that is really good, and I want to put it on my Highboy Frame. Anyone ever do it and can tell me how I should go about this? I plan on a body lift, and I figure doing a body lift may also allow me to modify as needed.. Thanks guys.
