F-250 Frame Swap.
I plan on soon swapping the frame from my 79' F-100 Custom to a Early 80's F-250 Diesel frame. I was just wondering, should i get the frame painted, and if so what is the best way, and what is involved. Also, has anybody done a swap like this? Anything i should know?

I am swapping a 79 cab on an 87 f-350 4x4 dually cab and chassis frame. I am using a cummins diesel in mine. You have to custom make all the body mounts. I got the cab mounted, still have to do the front clip. It's alot of measuring, cutting, measuring, welding and more measuring, and a lift to hold the cab up helps alot.
