anything is possible if you can fabricate mounts.

This was kind of asked over in the Bull nose area.
What was brought up is look at the frames between the 2 trucks.
More of where the frame turns up after the cab. I am thinking the turn up is farther back on the 4 door than the ext cab frame.


If that checks out ok then look into the frame mounts.
