More or less just want to know if it can be done.Seams like it would be eazier than welding in a front clip, new rear end etc.Have not found much info on this topic.Any specific problems come to mind? Thanx for any help,lt56.

I know the issue of frame swaps has been discussed in the past several times at some length. Click on the Search link above, then on advanced search. Choose this forum from the list in the lower right and try using "frame swap" with the quotes as your search keyword. You should find a number of threads that talk about various options and difficulties. You can also try +frame +swap or just the word swap to widen the search. Have fun.

The problem you would run into with a swap is that the Chevy pickup frame kicks up a whole lot whereas the the F-100 frame is flat. A kick up is fine and dandy for the front... but in the back, it messes with your bed.
