I decided to use the 59 frame because I did not want to build all new body mounts

Jarred;
I realize that once I got to the middle of the post. Good luck with your truck. Check out my 59 in my gallery, has a 70's front 4x4 axle. I'm debating to return it to 2wd or keep it 4x4, with front disc brakes.
P.S. where is dora Ala?

It looks better now because the passenger rear spring had a broken leaf so I replaced them with a set from a mid 70's F-100 and it sets up pretty high in the rearend

Exclamation 1960 F-100 Shortbed on a 1974 F-240 4x4 frame???

Hi out there! Can anyone tell me if my 1960 -100 Shortbed - Cab and Bed fit/mount onto a 1974 Ford F-250 4x4 Ranger Frame. Or can anyone suggest what 4x4 frames would fit? I'd really like to get this cab and bed onto another 4x4 frame without having to start fitting the gear onto the 60 frame.

As always Thanks for your help and support

we have got some of th frame and cab sandblasted. Today we bought 1000 lbs of blasting sand in 100 lb sacks and it was heavy. This should be enough to sandblast the rest of the truck
