Good morning f100
I am puting my 72 f250 crew cab body on a 97 dodge 2500 4x4 diesel chassis but I'm still in the early stages of fitting the body. I haven't figured out how to ad pics yet to my comments.

I'm interested in seeing how you get it to bolt up to the dodge frame. Is it a extended cab long bed chassis your using? I wanna know where all these crew cabs are coming from and cummins swaps all the sudden.

Well actually I've had both trucks for over 5 years with this in mind but only got around to starting Aug 2013. Yes it was an extended cab long box and so far I have shortened wheelbase approx 5 in and have mounted the box but I'm still fitting the cab. And as to where I found this crew cab I got it out of a towing impound yard where it had been sitting unnoticed for 12 years. I picked it up for $200 and actually drove it on a trailer, it wasn't very happy about it but it did drive under its own power.

Kind of a cool background on where you picked up the crew. I believe that's the cheapest crew ive seen someone on here get yet. How is the body on the crew any rust anywhere? Did you go with a full size short bed? So the extended cab long bed frame is actually longer then what you need it to be. Did you move the rear axle forward more? Create a photobucket account and copy and paste the image URL into your post so we can see pics. Saying the word crew around here without pics is a sin hahaha
